Does having Hunter Henry blocking his way going to push him somewhere else?

Kiffin may have his issues, and needs to grow into the OC position with Saban, but his TEs always put up nice numbers. And he has O.J. Howard to man the spot.
I don't doubt it but Henry was 50 yards behind the conference leader as a skinny true freshman with terrible QB play. A year under Herbert and (please dear god) improved QB play and he'll almost certainly be at the top. We'll see. OJ Howard is a beast though. So is Cam Clear when he gets healthy.

O.J. has physical abilities off the charts, but Dominique Bryd was a pretty good TE at USC under Kiffin.

Very well could. Henry will be a JR when he comes in as a Freshman so that could potentially be two years before he would see quality playing time. His family is died hard Arkansas and he is very close with the others like Jarius Wright & Joe Adams who all preach "playing for your home state"
But like I said, he plays it close to his chest.

His future position is OT, but he may not think so.
eta: He's set a announcement date for September on his birth day.

It would be the same at Bama with O.J. Howard.
Arkansas, under Bielema, will use more TE's on the field consistently than anyone else in the SEC. We use 22 or 12 personnel a lot so he would definitely be able to get on the field at that same time as Henry quite a bit.
Personally speaking, I would rather have C.J. O'Grady if I'm picking between the two. However, he's more of a flex TE while Gragg is more of a true inline guy.

I like Gragg, but I wouldn't mind if we also added a guy like Devonaire Clairington.

dude looks good in O&B...

He's not coming to Arkansas even though our system would turn him into a beast. I think if he grows another 2 inches he's an All Pro NFL tackle.
He also has a touch of the Eluemebrhfhsje won't be surprised if he milks it all the way to NSD. If he commits he'll flip a couple times.

He's definitely not the receiving threat his brother was, that's for sure.
Of course, Chris played WR in high school and grew in to a TE. Will is already playing TE in high school and is growing in to an OT.
He would be perfect for the inline position for our offense and Bielema's system has a better history of putting TE's in the league than anyone else in the SEC. It seems like a perfect match for any in-state TE. Look at Hunter Henry, he's already well on his way to being drafted in two-three years. If we had had a better season this year then I am confident we would land him but for now I would lock my pick in as Ole Miss.

What are Hog fans hearing? He seems like an eventual Arkansas signee either way, with his brother playing there.
Would be surprised

We use 2 TE's in our offense a lot but Gragg could make big money if he would move to OT.
He's playing the recruiting game as simple as that.

I thought you might like that...I personally think we need to sway KJ Hill who is an AU lean.
We need Gragg to get us over the "Stars" hump

And you would be incorrect.
Wisconsin has had 5 TE's drafted since 2006 compared to UGA's 3. Wisconsin also had another play as a FA and they will most likely have another one drafted this year in Jacob Pederson. Also, Wisconsin currently has 4 active TE's in the NFL to Georgia's 2.
The only school that could challenge Wisocnsin's current claim as "TE U" is Miami.
It's that same TE heavy/friendly system that Bielema is implementing at Arkansas.
