Dillon Bell is a much better player than he gets credit for.

Dylan Fairchild OG... in HS he was undefeated with a 67-0 wrestling record and state champion. 310 lbs, can bench press 525 lbs and squat the freaking team bus. Last season he didn't allow a single sack and only 3 pressures the entire season. And there isn't one table spoon of fat on this kid. He was recently listed on the USA Today college football "Freaks" list.

Our OL is gonna hurt some DLinemen this season.

OL and DL with wrestling backgrounds are scary

Qua Russaw is my pick. He’s just too athletic and aggressive to keep on the sidelines another season. I think he has a big year this season

I’m gonna say Cole Adams. Was actually highly recruited and will be in the nfl one day.

Why was this guy at UTSA to begin with?

I was wondering the same thing. Sometimes guys just slip through the recruiting attention cracks or late maturity bloomers. Same reason some guys drafted in NFL come out of nowhere from non-power five conference schools.

The Gentry: wide reciever with track speed, dance moves, and soft hands which catch everything thrown anywhere in his vicinity. He Will cold bitchslap this league with a skrong pimp hand.

Bold of you to assume we have a good player on this year's Arkansas team.

Can't name just one, but in no particular order:
Matthew Golden- WR
Silas Bolden- WR
Colton Vasek- DE
Malik Muhammed- CB
Tre Wisner- RB
Gunnar Helm- TE

One of Russaw, Payne, DeVonta Smith, Adams, or Henderson could easily have breakout years.

But, I think the safest bet is Justice Haynes. He'll split carries with Jam Miller, but he's going to emerge as a top back in the SEC this fall.

Oddly enough, I’m going to go with freshman kicker Towns McGough, who will likely start the season as the starter due to medical issues with McPherson. Aside from having a kickass football name, McGough can boot the hell out of the ball with accuracy.

I agree he’s going to have a big year. I didn’t pick him because I believe most casual fans probably have already heard his name a few times.

It's a broad term.

I doubt the casual fan as I think of it can name more than one coach on the team.

I’m hoping he has a good career except against us. He wanted to pass rush with his hand in the ground in a crowded room for us. We wanted him as an OLB. I think it worked out for the best he can play DE like he wanted to.

For A&M, probably Will Lee III (CB). He has the size, length and speed to cover bigger WRs that killed us last year. Surprise guy that could be huge, EJ Smith at RB. With Owens going down, I expect Smith to get at least 25% of carries. I hear he’s great when healthy.
