Yup. Can't help but be curious if we had offered Jarvis Cooper. He's been nails for Memphis as a RB.

There's a lot of RB coming out of the northeast this cycle, RB seems a tad down in our region.

Despite dropping a pass late in practice, Bielema said he has been impressed with Damon Mitchell, who also got significant reps with the first team. "(Michell) had an exceptional camp," Bielema said. "We wanted to give him more opportunities today. I think he took advantage of it pretty good."

Jojo Robinson and Kendrick Edwards took reps with the ones late in practice, as well.


This is great news for WR depth. Bert has been extremely high on Duwop the last two days, and it sounds like he's made the most of his opportunity in camp. Also great to see Jojo and Kendrick Edwards get time with the ones. We need both of them in the right mind.

With Hatcher coming back in force, if Reed can contribute in a big way immediately, and if at least one of the trio of Mitchell/Edwards/Jojo can break through...I think I need a minute.

Speaking of guys taking that next step, it seems like we haven't heard much regarding guys like Brandon Lewis and Mitchell Loewen.

I rewatched the Texas Bowl this afternoon (too fricking hot to go outside), and Loewen was beasting on UT's line. When he's healthy, Lewis can be a force too.

They're buried on the depth chart and coming back from injury. I expect both to make this plays this fall.

Our DL will end up as one of the best in the SEC.

Yea. Not hearing about those guys right now is a good sign IMO. We don't want to hear about how deep we will be when "so and so" gets back to 100%. We are deep all around without them.

I'm laughing at all of the SEC fans thinking we're going to be weak on the DL

I haven't heard as much about Josh Williams this offseason as I have about Hackett and of course Ellis. Wondering if he can make the 2nd year JUCO jump like a lot of players do. That would be a big help to the D

I saw a pic of SOME number 11 the other day in the background of some camp shot. My first thought was, "Sweet! Ramsey's back." But then I realized it was just a much more chiseled looking Gragg. Already.

Can't find it at the moment, but did notice a positive comment from CBB regarding Josh Williams in the last day or two.

What's funny is that this is coming from the likes of Auburn, Ole Miss and Bama fans whose teams are all replacing their QB and have it in their heads they'll be better. But we lose Philon and Flowers and we're suddenly dumpster diving again. Lulz.

Seems Pulley has been the best of the freshman DB's so far. Battling Floyd for the 4th CB spot

Our dear leader

" Beliema has Razorbacks pushing toward 'ultimate goal'. The enthusiasm in Bret Bielema's voice was unmistakable."

HogsCamp Practice 4
quote:

The Razorbacks wrapped up a 26-period practice this afternoon, their fourth of fall camp. The practice began outside on grass before moving indoors for the final six periods due to heat. The last two periods were reserved for developmental players.

Three Takeaways

1. New Positions Pay Off
The two most impressive players in today’s practice were guys who recently changed positions. Linebacker Brooks Ellis, who slide from Mike (middle linebacker) to Will (weakside linebacker) was all over the field. Ellis was very active in the passing game, blowing up a screen and batting down a pass. He fills the spot vacated by Martrell Spaight – a fifth-round draft pick of the Washington Redskins.

On the offensive side of the ball it was left tackle Denver Kirkland who had an excellent day. He slides out to left tackle this year to protect quarterback Brandon Allen’s blindside. Kirkland has started the last 21 consecutive games at right guard. At 6-foot-5 and 340 pounds, Kirkland sealed off several running lanes and did an excellent job in pass protection.

2. Defensive Line Depth
The depth of Arkansas’ defensive line continues to show daily as both projected starters at defensive end had solid practices. Junior JaMichael Winston was consistent once again. The defensive leader brought energy after yesterday’s day off and routinely maintained his assignment, drawing praise from head coach Bret Bielema.

The defensive line depth improved today when Tevin Beanum returned to practice. Beanum had been sidelined for a couple days with a minor foot injury but was very active upon his return. He got to the quarterback multiple times against the first-team offense.

3. Offensive Freshmen
Running back Rawleigh Williams III continues to impress. Coach Bielema touted the true freshman from Dallas again after today’s practice as Williams showed great vision on several runs. Williams had one off tackle run where he saw the hole, cut back and took it into the secondary for a long gain. He has also showcased his hands in the passing game and shows great burst.

Another freshman that had a great practice was Austin Cantrell. He has played a variety of different positions thus far, lining up mostly as a tight end and H-back. His versatility make him very valuable as the Razorback coaching staff can use him in a variety of different ways. He clearly has a chance to earn playing time this fall.
