FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football will begin fall camp on Wednesday, Aug. 5, and all eyes will be on the quarterback battle between KJ Jackson and AJ Hill.
But there will be starting spots up for grabs across the field, and competitions for snaps as backups will be fierce as Ryan Silverfield prepares for his first season as the Razorbacks coach. On Monday, Aug. 3, Silverfield met with the local media to preview fall camp, and he shared the three position groups he is most excited to evaluate over the next four weeks leading into the season opener against North Alabama.
Unsurprisingly, Silverfield is focused on the trenches, highlighting both of the offensive and defensive lines. He's also eager to get his eyes on the wide receivers who will be tasked with producing explosive plays along with whichever quarterback lands the starting gig.
"Some of those other guys in the wide receiver position, like, okay, can we have eight starters? You know, and that's not a terrible thing," Silverfield said. "Do we have some guys that can step up?"
The Arkansas coach highlighted Boise State transfer Chris Marshall as someone he wants to ****** ume a big role for the Hogs' offense. He also mentioned Donovan Faupel (New Mexico State) and CJ Brown as older players with past production who will be fighting for snaps.
