Looks like a young rat snake but, with a very light pattern.

VicousConvict is right. It's known as a brown snake, a Dekay's snake, or sometimes as a Dekay's brown snake. BUt the latin name is right.

It was found in Arkansas

Fantastic...and it just so happens that the distribution of the brown snake includes Arkansas.
