Arkansa's football is preparing for the beginning of the spring exercises

The Arkansas The football team will start the spring exercises with 38 new scholarships and a lot on the offensive line, the defensive line, the Weithemmer and in the tight end and in the secondary play on Monday. The Razorbacks added 21 transfer supplements and welcomed the high school and junior college in 17 of their 24 hinges.

The razbacks will practice 15 times in the next six weeks, even six times before taking a week free for the spring break from March 24th to 28th. The first exercises will take place on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Tuesday (March 18) and Thursday (March 20) before the break.

When the team returns, they will practice every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The final “exercise” is the red-white spring game on April 19 at 1 p.m. (CDT). The exercises will appear at around 3 p.m. on weekdays.

“I have no question in my head that we have [improved as a unit] offensive. None “, Arkansa's trainer Sam Pittman said on Thursday. “Now, aggressively you can do a little more, you can see a little more in T-shirts and shorts. A little more. I like our additions that we have brought on both sides of the ball.”

The coaching staff in Arkansas added five transfer -offensive lines and a junior college talent to compete with six return -scholarships. All five players who started in the Liberty Bowl Fernando CarmonaPresent E'Marion Harris And Keyshawn Blackstock. Both Carmona and Harris started all 13 games last season. Carmona is expected to look at the guard and center after the left duel in 2024.

“When Robinson was her left -wing duel, Carmona was her left guard and kitler and whoever, [Kobe Branham]Blackstock, whoever, and then you have to find whether it is Mcry, whether it is Dumervil, whether it is E. Harris, “said Pittman.

The seven top passports from last season went either to the end, the NFL design or the transfer portal. Razorback coaches return five scholarships -but also brought five out of the transfer portal and will see two new students this spring. The transfers include Courtney Crutchfield ((Missouri), O'Mega Blake ((Charlotte), Came Shanks ((Uab), Raylen Sharpe ((Fresno State) And Ismael Cisse ((Stanford).

“With Sharpe and Shanks you think that you may be able to lead a few routes to the option. Maybe a few more screens, such things with these boys.

These “passers” include wide recipients, tight ends and running backs. The pigs hope to replace the transmission Luke Hask With Texas A & MS Jaden Platt and Montana State's Rohan Jones. The pigs have only added a transfer that were in the state of New Mexico Mike Washington. Pittman seemed satisfied with what he saw from Washington and said Russell was from 6: 1, 251 pounds to 238 and looks great.

The razibacks could stand to add another central defender, but HOG trainers have added two defensive destinations State Michigan transfer Ken Talley And Florida transfer Justus Boone go with Abilene Christian Defense Tackle David Oke (Oh key). Okey will miss at least a week with a drawn knee tendon. Returnee Cam Will miss the entire spring after an elbow operation, so that younger players have the opportunity to have the audition.

“We need someone to pop [at end]”Pittman said.” We also need the same amount inside. I think I go back, I have the feeling that I have a little more to know, although there was great sales on both sides of the ball, I have the feeling that I know a little more about the offensive than the defensive what you can do. “

The Schwind Auburn transfer Caleb wood And East Michigan transfer Quentavius ​​Scandrett To go with Cornerback transfers in Oklahoma Kani Walker and cincinnatis Jordan Jung. Young will be all spring with a shoulder injury when he was in Cincinnati.

The pigs also added a fascinating juco supplement Keshawn Davila. But the numbers are low in the back and have to address this in April transfer portal.

“I would take a secondary position,” he said. “And now we just don't need a guy. We need help. And again we see what we have.”

In addition to ball (elbow), Oke (first week with the thigh) and Young (shoulder), Arkansas will be defensive linemen even without new students Tajh overtonPresent Keiundre Johnson. The broad recipient Jordan Anthony will run on the route all the spring and will not be with the football team.
