Arkansas became the first school in the 16-season history of the John Mackey Award with multiple winners on Wednesday when Hunter Henry captured the honor as the nation's top tight end for the 2015 season.

Henry beat out Stanford's Austin Hooper and Clemson's Jordan Leggett for the honor. He joins 2010 winner D.J. Williams as the two Razorbacks to win the award.

The junior caught 46 passes for 647 yards, leading all tight ends, with three touchdowns. In his three-year Razorback career, Henry has 111 catches for 1,569 yards and nine touchdowns.
