⚡ CFB Dashboard

- Paulo Semedo raw, missed development due to injuries; jury out on contribution; foreign tour will provide first real evaluation opportunity.

- Portal entries don't show coaches forcing players out for roster upgrades; scholarships are one-year renewable contracts.

- Connor Smith injury forced Arkansas to add Jesse Ehrlich; Gavin Rush SEC starter, but depth needed to push competition.

- Last spring game memory: RW III injury year; unclear if held since.

- Christian Harrison will play FS/Star despite spring injury; guaranteed starting-lineup role.

- Building deep OL roster for practice depth amid injury concerns; only 12 healthy linemen several seasons ago.

- Semedo extremely gifted but raw; worth long-term investment despite limited reps/practice time from injury; limited production expected this season.

- Injury: I legit tried to grow it a little bit and cut it into a mohawk a couple of weeks ago.

- QB: The countdown to QB1 is officially on…and as Clint Black says, “There’s no time to kill.” Ryan Silverfield shared when Arkansas expects to name its starting quarterback in the battle between KJ Jackson and...

- QB: I don't care who wins the QB battle but I do care if this guy is an upper SEC level QB.

- Ranked 16th worst; settled for non-first-choice coach, no world-changers, unproven QB, worst SEC coaching hire.

- Watch Soles, Waller, Osborne, House, Smith; QB battle close, determined by Silverfield system fit.

- QB: Sure we might not have good QB play, but we supplement that nicely with poor play at every other position.

- Spring practices look good at most positions; QB and OT remain concerns.

- QB: CJ on QB progression: They are both really good competitors.

- QB handedness (KJ left, AJ right) may affect tackle lineup; Williams performed well this spring.

- QB: It was reported they came to a resolution over that situation

- Harris, Boone, Geffard departures questionable for "what went wrong" narrative; offseason moves good except needing experienced QB.

- Practice: worst starter in razorback history

- Arkansas TE Jaden Platt (6'5", 260) returns as starter after 21 catches, 296 yards last season; OL starters set since spring.

- Defense: MM was awful last year.

- Danny West high on Arkansas after visit; impressed by coaching staff and offensive potential.

- Arkansas returns much of its secondary, but team speed remains a major concern after the unit tested poorly and struggled to match faster opponents last season. - Miguel Mitchell and Mike Washington were among the roster's speed exceptions and give the staff more athletic options in coverage. - The staff has experimented with Christian Harrison and Kamorey House between nickel and safety roles while trying to settle the back end. - Braiden Lee adds experience from Clemson, and Roman brings prior starting work from Maryland. - Safety remains the most uncertain position despite the overall continuity.

- Charlie loves JACK position fit, improved in coverage, focused on edge-setting and big plays.

- TE Platt must be central to offense; elite pass-catching RB forces defensive coverage, opens other receivers.

- Scheme attacks 15 yards from scrimmage via RPOs/checkdowns; concerns if ineffective vs SEC defenses.

- Given NIL limitations creating lack of talent, what offensive scheme fits roster constraints?

- DL weakness allowed opposing QBs excessive time; secondary coverage impossible over 4+ seconds.

- New Arkansas offense: heavy RPO, screens to RBs/WRs, swing passes, tempo with pre-snap shifts.

- Courtney Crutchfield urged to step up and show his hype; Arkansas fan will forgive his Missouri year.

- Intel: Ryan Silverfield doesn’t shy away from talking about what he is taking over at Arkansas… even while building its future.

- Arkansas' 2026 win total is listed at 4.5, the lowest number the discussion could recall for the program. - The market reflects a schedule that now includes nine SEC games. - Arkansas has not posted a winning SEC record in more than a decade and has finished .500 in conference only once during that span, in 2021.

- Intel: Projecting the 2026 Razorbacks based on last year’s results ignores one massive reality: this isn’t ain’t the 2025 Razorbacks.

- Intel: @espn continues to solidify Arkansas legend Darren McFadden among the GOATs of college football.

- LB: Greg McElroy isn’t saying the Razorbacks have the toughest schedule in the world, but will be surprised if Ryan Silverfield leads them to a bowl game in 2026.
