This story is from the archives of ArkansasSports360.com.

Former Arkansas offensive lineman Mitch Petrus released an album with his band VONA during the New York Giants' offseason. His musical skills were fine-tuned during his time with the Razorbacks, playing in bands with teammates and friends on campus.

D.J. Williams, who enters his second season in Green Bay after an award-winning Arkansas career at tight end, hasn't released an album, but he was a hit with teammates (and girls) for his abilities as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter.

Petrus and Williams are gone, but there’s still plenty of musical talent on the current Razorbacks’ roster.

Defensive end Chris Smith dabbles with the drums and piano. Tight end Chris Gragg sings, writes and can play a number of instruments, including the saxophone.

Need some Skynyrd?

Quarterback Tyler Wilson has you covered.

Brandon Mitchell, whose resume includes quarterback, wide receiver, special teams contributor and basketball power forward, not surprisingly dabbles in a little bit of everything. We didn't get a chance to ask Mitchell about his skills, but his teammates were more than happy to brag on his ability to play just about any instrument you put in his hands.

Which Razorback would you most like to see in concert?
