Morris uses numbers to designate the skill positions instead of letters.

The 3 is a tight end, the 4 is a running back and 2, 5 and 9 are receivers.

Typically, the 9 man is on the boundary side of the formation (the side closer to the sideline), the 5 man is in the slot and the 2 man is split wide on the field side. Obviously they can move around in various formations, but that is the base look.

-The 9 man is a bigger receiver who can win in one-on-one situations. That is the position Courtland Sutton played at SMU and DeAndre Hopkins, Martavis Bryant and Mike Williams played at Clemson.

-The 5 man is also a bigger receiver because he is asked to run a lot of crossing routes and routes in the middle of the field, making him susceptible to big hits.

-The 2 man is your speedster. He can line up in the backfield and is also used on fly and jet sweeps. Trey Quinn was this position at SMU last season and guys like Sammy Watkins and Adam Humphries played it at Clemson.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas has shuffled a couple of players around this offseason, with Jordon Curtis moving to running back and Chase Harrell moving to tight end.

---

quote:

---

Previously a cornerback, Curtis’ move is out of necessity because the Razorbacks will likely have only two other healthy running backs for spring practice in Devwah Whaley and Chase Hayden.

Rakeem Boyd is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, while it sounds like they will also be without T.J. Hammonds, who has dealt with numerous knee injuries throughout his career. High school signee A’Montae Spivey won’t join the team until this summer.

---

quote:

---

For Curtis, it will be a familiar position because he was a standout running back at Jenks High School in Oklahoma. As a senior, he averaged 12.4 yards per carry and scored nine touchdowns, including the game-winning score against rival Union.

Over his first two seasons at Arkansas, though, he has been a reserve defensive back and appeared in only one game. Curtis’ biggest claim to fame with the Razorbacks came late last season when he was hit by a car while crossing Razorback Road. Luckily he wasn’t serious injured and he’s fully recovered.

---

quote:

---

The tight end position will also be a little light this spring with Austin Cantrell deciding to move on with one year of eligibility remaining and high school signee Hudson Henry not joining the team until this summer.

That leaves Cheyenne O’Grady, Grayson Gunter and Hayden Johnson to handle the bulk of the work, so Harrell will also get some time in a “hybrid” role, according to tight ends coach Barry Lunney Jr.

Harrell, a graduate transfer from Kansas who caught four passes for 60 yards as a wide receiver last year, was listed at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds. That means he will likely add some weight this offseason, but it won’t be a ton.

---

In addition to Boyd and Hammonds, defensive tackle Briston Guidry and cornerback Britto Tutt will also miss spring practice. Both players have dealt with knee injuries throughout their careers

Excellent work

DE Courtre Alexander enters the transfer portal

Fulwider might be the only DL left from that class lol

I was not ever high on alexander. He was brought in like mike woods, and the O linemen that was also committed to smu no?


Fulwider was basically to me your typical bert D linemen. (was recruited mainly by bert, but had gone super quite on him. I figured we had lost him to UNC. I guess this staff leveraged him visiting here previously and got him to come here) oversized DE that didnt move too well, would out grow his position, and end up moving inside. Never really being awesome.

Ferrell was the one i was excited about, but like a ton of kids with potential we have landed over the years his health ended his chance to play.
