DNA vs. scheme and more Razorback musings
- 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.
