Eligible immediately. All American kick returner and averaged 6.4 yards per carry.

Will be a huge playmaker on returns at least and could start at RB as well.

Nice pickup.

Interesting how all these OU kids keep transferring to SEC schools as grad students.

Apparently they prefer one final year to be in the SEC. The NFL draft numbers by conference are significant.

Thanks. Pretty excited about this guy. We had a huge void in kick returns without Marcus Murphy and this guy is one of the best in the country.

A couple of Texas kids have transferred to the SEC and PAC over the last couple of years.

The Big 12 used to be the destination conference. TCU, BU, OSU, and KSU were the primary destinations. It is "cute" when everybody tries to say Briles and Patterson are "developing" talent when really they are just acquiring it from other schools; mostly from the Big 10.

Fills our two biggest voids. Now just need some offensive linement.

I believe Arkansas made some promises to Devwah Whaley. I believe he wanted to be the only RB taken.

I don't think Arkansas wants a 186 lbs. running back. I believe their intent is to use him more as a WR.

Arkansas doesn't need WRs either, your info is as messed up as your O line

And wrong board, but congrats

He's starting out at RB per the coaches. Others have been projecting him at WR.

Lock is the guy. No doubt. He's added about 20 lbs, and I expect him to be much better not being a true freshman forced into duty and working with a really good QB coach in Heupel.

The concern still remains the OL. It could be a disaster, but if it's at least passable we could be pretty good.

Lock will most likely start. He'll do fine with Heupel coaching. No real concerns with the playmakers.

IF...and a BIG IF is our OL. Can we block anything? Good blocking = good year. Bad blocking = bad year. It's that simple. The D will do more than their part.
