Much gratitude to Joe Posnanski for presenting the 2026 Jenkins Medal Lifetime Achievement award to Thomas Boswell. (Baseball guy to baseball guy!)
A hearty thanks to our Quarterback Event Sponsor Mary and Baker Montgomery. Baker's brother, Bill, was the star quarterback for Arkansas in the 1970 Sugar Bowl. The #13 Ole Miss Rebels upset the #3 Arkansas Razorbacks 27–22 but the QBs for that game became lifelong friends.
Thank you to Kathleen McElroy, Liz Merrill, Kirk Bohls and Alexander Wolff for presenting the 2026 Jenkins Medals to the authors of the recognized articles.
