The Arkansas Razorbacks have four returning starters on the offensive line.

Two are from Arkansas, one is from Missouri and the other is from Europe. Hjalte (pronounced Yell-duh) Froholdt is a 6-foot-5, 315-pound left guard from Svendborg, Denmark, and he’s happy to tell you all about it.

“I’m 21, so I can say this, but we love our beer in Denmark,” Froholdt said last week at the Southeastern Conference’s annual Media Days event. “We are huge fans of beer. If you go to Denmark or Germany, go get some beer. Go down to the harbor – we love our ships – so go out on a boat and have a good beer.

“Nothing beats that. That’s my main culture.”
