— Arkansas coaches are scheduled to be in attendance at a football camp inside AT&T Stadium next month.

The camp, hosted by Texas A&M-Commerce, will take place Thursday, June 9, in Arlington, Texas. It will be limited to 250 rising juniors and seniors in high school.

Arkansas coach Bret Bielema mentioned the possibility of taking his coaches to a camp at the Cowboys' stadium this summer after the NCAA overturned a ban on satellite camps. Satellite camps allow coaching staffs to participate in camps not hosted by their own university.

"We are excited to bring our Razorback brand to Texas and work with A&M-Commerce at one of the greatest venues in all of football," Bielema said in a statement released by the host school Thursday.

Arkansas is no stranger to AT&T Stadium. The Razorbacks have played six games there since it opened in 2009 and are under contract to play an annual game against Texas A&M there through 2024.

The Texas camp is the third known satellite camp that will involve Arkansas coaches this summer. They will also work with coaches from Arkansas State and other in-state universities at Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium on June 5, and at Florida Atlantic University on June 13.

Florida Atlantic is coached by former Bielema assistant Charlie Partridge.
