- KJ Jackson won Arkansas' quarterback competition after separating himself from Hill in fall-camp situational work, and the players subsequently selected him as one of three team captains. - Ryan Silverfield named Jackson before the opener so Arkansas' receivers, tight ends, offensive line and starting center could build rhythm with his cadence, checks and under-center exchanges. - Arkansas still plans some quarterback rotation, but Jackson's film-study habits, leadership and willingness to take responsibility were cited as major reasons he secured the starting role. - Jackson has not absorbed live contact during camp because quarterbacks wore protected jerseys, leaving his response to real pressure as an untested variable entering the North Alabama game.

Faulk is out for the year, with tight end Jonathan Edwards, tackle Tai Buster and corner Devin Williams still uncertain. Florida reported no major camp loss; Georgia remains without Amaris Williams and likely Dante Dowdell, while center Drew Bobo should play.

Oklahoma center Jake Maikkula is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. - Ole Miss reported no major preseason injury. South Carolina lost receivers Jaden Sellers and Jayden Gibson for the season, with tackle Jacarrius Peak expected out roughly two weeks and Dylan Stewart unavailable opening weekend.

Texas A&M lost Chace Sims and Tiger Riden for the season and receiver Jerome Myles left the team. Vanderbilt had no major new camp injury, while Mississippi State's principal questions are receiver Ayden Williams and limited defensive linemen D.J. Reed and Kalvin Dinkins.

- Top Betting/Intel Takeaways - Arkansas' spring-game takeaway starts with QB uncertainty. Trey Biddy gave KJ Jackson a slight edge over AJ after the Red-White game, but framed the job as unsettled and still a fall-camp risk. - KJ Jackson's best signal was a 65-yard completion to CJ Brown, with roughly 35 yards in the air. Biddy liked some of the throws but said KJ still needs more consistency and comfort in the offense. - AJ led multiple touchdown drives and has a big arm, but his long, looping throwing motion is a concern for Arkansas' quick-game/RPO/screen package. He also threw a roughly 53-yard pick-six. - Biddy said Arkansas probably did not land the proven transfer QB he wanted, which keeps the team's win-total ceiling tied heavily to whether one of the current QBs can become plus-level.
