Cornerback Darius Winston is one of three five-star recruits to sign with Arkansas in the past 10 years, but he said he hasn’t reached his own expectations in his first three years with the Razorbacks. “I expect a lot of out myself. I expect more out of myself than anyone else does,” Winston said. “I feel like a lot of people feel I’ve let them down and they might have turned on me too soon, not knowing my circumstances. But I’m a no-excuse kind of guy. Whatever happened, happened. You deal with it and go. That’s life.”
