MONTICELLO, Ark. - The University of Arkansas at Monticello football team hosted Southern Nazarene on Saturday afternoon for the 2025 Homecoming Game. The Boll Weevils came out of the contest with a 23-9 victory over the Crimson Storm.

Quarterback Tavion Faulk gave a 14-23 performance with 149 passing yards. Michael Lott was the leading receiver in the game, grabbing five receptions for 41 total yards, with the longest being 11 yards. Jaylen Sulton was right behind with one reception and 25 yards. On the ground, Chasden Collins led the Boll Weevils with 6 carries for 73 yards.

Charles Stinson led the day on special teams, going 2-2 on PATs, and hitting a 39-yard field goal.

UAM held Southern Nazarene to only nine points on the afternoon, with all nine coming from field goals. This is the first time the Boll Weevils have held an opponent to zero touchdowns since their shutout, 34-0 victory over the Wonder Boys of Arkansas Tech in the 2013 season.

Post Game
Boll Weevil Head Coach Hud Jackson had this to say after the game: "I can't even tell you how excited we are for this win tonight. It says a lot about this team having a mentality of one at a time. Is the right approach that we've taken. Our guys and our coaches work extremely hard, and they deserve to be successful. It was an awesome crowd and a great homecoming. A lot of people came back and visited, and they're excited about the direction of not only football, but our university as a whole. Will get back at it tomorrow at 4 o'clock, get ready for the next team. It's really awesome to practice after a big win. Eat'em up!!"

Tonight's victory over Southern Nazarene marks Coach Jackson's 50th program win at UAM. Jackson is the second-winningest coach at Arkansas-Monticello, falling short of only Head Coach Tommy Barnes, who led the program from 1985 to 1996.
