🐗 Arkansas Razorbacks Fans — Your Hogs Are Waiting!
The Hogs are calling. Arkansas men’s tennis is building around a nationally ranked No. 1 singles star, a deep doubles room, and the loudest call in college sports. Get ready to wear the cardinal and white.
The Club
The Arkansas Razorbacks are the University of Arkansas’s men’s tennis team — the cardinal-and-white side from Fayetteville, Arkansas, competing in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The program’s identity is unmistakable: cardinal, white, and the Hog Call — WOO PIG SOOIE — rolling out of the stands before big matches. The heritage strip says it plainly: FAYETTEVILLE • EST. 1871 • WOO PIG SOOIE (1871 is the university’s founding year). Searching for the Arkansas Razorbacks roster, the Razorbacks schedule or Arkansas tennis tickets for the season ahead? This is the place to start — and the cardinal-and-white kit is the way to wear it.

Last Season: A Ranked No. 1 Leads the Way
The recent story of Arkansas men’s tennis is written through its individuals — and it starts at the top of the lineup. In February 2026, Jakub Vrba stood at No. 19 in the national singles rankings and was 6–0 in spring singles at that point — the kind of unbeaten start that sets the tone for a whole team. Around him, the supporting cast has its own verified form: Brendan Boland picked up 5 fall wins in 2024 and stayed active through the fall 2026 events, while Connor Smillie led the team with 15 doubles wins in 2023–24. No team standings are claimed here — what the record shows is a squad built on a ranked singles anchor and a doubles room that knows how to win. That is the foundation the Hogs carry into the season ahead.
Best Players Right Now
Jakub Vrba, No. 1 Singles — The headliner, and the clearest star on the roster. Vrba is Arkansas’s No. 1 singles player, ranked No. 19 nationally in February 2026 after a 6–0 start to spring singles, and he carried that form into the fall 2026 ITA All-American main draw. When the Hogs need a point at the top of the lineup, he is the name they turn to — and the player opposing coaches circle first.
Brendan Boland, Singles / Doubles Regular — The versatile engine of the lineup. Boland is a singles and doubles regular who won 5 fall matches in 2024 and stayed active through the fall 2026 circuit, including the Midland Invitational and the ITA All-Americans. Players like Boland win dual matches in the middle of the lineup, where depth decides championships.
Connor Smillie, Doubles Specialist — The doubles-room leader. Smillie is a doubles specialist who led the team with 15 doubles wins in 2023–24 and stayed active in fall 2026 doubles. In college tennis, where the doubles point can swing an entire dual, a specialist of Smillie’s record is worth his weight in cardinal.
Star Spotlight: Stories You Should Know
The ranked anchor. Jakub Vrba’s February 2026 ranking — No. 19 in the nation — is the single biggest verified fact on this roster. A 6–0 spring singles start and a place in the fall 2026 ITA All-American main draw tell you what kind of player he is: not a prospect, but a proven top-of-the-lineup force, right now.
Depth wins duals. Arkansas is not a one-man team. Boland’s fall-circuit activity and Smillie’s team-leading doubles record from 2023–24 mean the Hogs can win points up and down the lineup — and in the SEC, where every weekend is a grind, that depth is the difference between competing and contending.
The call is the culture. WOO PIG SOOIE is not just a motto on a banner — it is the sound of Arkansas tennis at its best, the Hog Call rolling across the courts in Fayetteville. When the Hogs are rolling, you hear it before you see the score.

This Season: The 2026–27 Campaign
This season is about turning a ranked anchor into a team on the rise. The fall 2026 campaign has run through the ITA circuit — Vrba in the ITA All-American main draw, Boland active at the Midland Invitational and the ITA All-Americans, Smillie working the doubles draws — and the spring dual season is where it all comes together. The Hogs’ formula is clear: Vrba setting the tone at No. 1 singles, Boland holding the middle of the lineup, and Smillie chasing the doubles point that swings duals. For fans, the brief is simple: get to Fayetteville, wear the cardinal and white, and call the Hogs home.
Mark Your Calendar: The Road Ahead
No dated dual-match fixtures have been verified at the time of writing — when the full spring schedule is published, this guide will be updated with every Razorbacks date. What is verified is the shape of the season: a fall campaign through the ITA circuit, including the ITA All-American Championships and the Midland Invitational, followed by the spring dual season in Fayetteville.
Biggest Rivalries — The Wars
1. The SEC weekends — every dual is a war. In the Southeastern Conference, there are no easy weekends. Every conference dual is a grind from the doubles point to the last singles court, and the Hogs’ depth — Boland in the middle, Smillie in doubles — is built exactly for that kind of fight. No past results are claimed here; the rivalry is the conference itself, week after week.
2. The battle at No. 1 singles. Every opponent’s best player wants the same thing: a ranked win over Arkansas’s No. 1. Vrba’s national ranking makes him the target at the top of every lineup card — and the stage where the Hogs’ season is so often decided. When Vrba wins at No. 1, the whole dual tilts cardinal.
