It’s important for a football team to have leaders on the field to make plays and manage their teammates’ emotions.

At Arkansas, the coaching staff has identified who their leaders will be.

The Razorbacks named offensive tackle Dan Skipper, linebacker Brooks Ellis, running back Kody Walker and defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. the team captains on Thursday.

All seniors, the quartet will seek to help coach Bret Bielema guide Arkansas to a successful season in the SEC West.
