Embarrassment of riches: Arkansas has 2 Heisman Trophy hopefuls, Wilson and Davis

Posted: Updated:

Arkansas has not one, but two Heisman Trophy hopefuls in quarterback Tyler Wilson and running back Knile Davis. 

The Razorbacks need wins to make sure either have a chance at becoming the school's first Heisman winner, and the athletic department is doing its best to make sure they become household names to fans and voters. It's done so by increasing their national exposure, including a Twitter account aimed at promoting their accomplishments. 

Wilson was first-team All-Southeastern Conference last season, leading Arkansas to an 11-2 record and Cotton Bowl win. Davis missed last season with an ankle injury but led SEC running backs in rushing yardage two seasons ago. 

Former Arkansas running back Darren McFadden finished second in the Heisman voting in both 2006 and `07.
