The University of Arkansas and Tyson Foods have partnered to launch Tyson Razorback Nuggets, white meat nuggets shaped like the university’s iconic hog mascot, in time for the 2024-2025 football season. This unique collaboration aims to cater to the passionate Razorback fans and add a new level of excitement to tailgating and game day parties.
The idea for the Razorback Nuggets came after the announcement that former Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari would be taking over as the head coach for the University of Arkansas basketball team. Calipari’s close relationship with Tyson Chairman John H. Tyson and the company’s contributions to Arkansas Athletics played a significant role in his decision to move to Fayetteville. This partnership between Tyson Foods and the university reflects the strong ties between the two Arkansas brands and their commitment to celebrating the Razorback spirit.
The Tyson Razorback Nuggets will be available in select Walmart stores in August and select Sam’s Club locations in September. These nuggets, along with other fun shapes like Spooky Nuggets and Dino Nuggets, offer a convenient and delicious snack option for fans to enjoy during game day festivities. The partnership between Tyson Foods and the University of Arkansas underscores their shared dedication to supporting Razorback student-athletes and engaging with the Razorback Nation in a unique and exciting way.
