[http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=275312 Sporting News.] September 20 2007. Retrieved on January 12 2008.] Senior wide receiver James Shibest led the team in receiving statistics for the third straight season. Shibest is currently the Tight ends/Special teams coach for the 2008 Razorbacks.
