After a standout junior season that saw him earn All-SEC honors, Ricky Stromberg had a decision to make: move on to the NFL, or come back for one final season with the Hogs. Stromberg anchored Arkansas’ offensive line at center, blocking for an offense that led all Power 5 schools in rushing at nearly 230 yards per game. It’s no wonder that Head Hog Sam Pittman is excited to have him back. And Pittman isn’t the only one who’s fired up. Stromberg, a preseason All-American pick, is ready to go to work with the guys up front. The senior from Tulsa isn’t shying away from high expectations, either. Not for himself, or for this team. In this episode, former Razorback and NFL offensive lineman Travis Swanson sits down with Stromberg to talk about why he came back to the Hogs, his goals for his senior season, and the attention he’s getting from preseason watch lists.
