KJ Jackson separated from AJ Hill most clearly in closed scrimmages through stronger command and more repeatable fundamentals, but Arkansas still views its new QB1 as the roster's largest unknown.

Arkansas enters the season with unresolved questions at offensive tackle and tight end, including Bryant Williams protecting Jackson's blind side, Kavion Broussard's inexperience and Ty Lockwood's readiness behind Jaden Platt.

The Razorbacks believe all three receiver spots have improved, with CJ Brown more experienced and Chris Marshall offering game-breaking physical traits if his execution becomes consistent.

Arkansas feels comfortable playing seven or eight defensive linemen, but the depth behind projected starters at linebacker and in the secondary remains less certain.

Ryan Silverfield's staff has emphasized ball security more heavily than any recent Arkansas staff, while penalties and special-teams performance remain unresolved variables.
