Arkansas and coach Bret Bielema released a post-spring depth chart on Wednesday with some subtle surprises.

A few notable items:

  • WR JoJo Robinson didn’t even make the three-deep at either receiver spot, despite the lack of quality players at the position beyond Keon Hatcher and Arkansas’ need to find some downfield threats.

  • Jonathan Williams is listed as the No. 1 starter at running back, with Alex Collins and Kodi Walker listed as “OR” on the backup line.
  • Deatrich Wise, demoted to second-team defensive end before Arkansas’ second full scrimmage of spring, remains there now as Tevin Beanum has taken over his spot. Wise could have the highest ceiling of any of the team’s pass rushers, but Bielema insisted that his schedule is overloaded with academics, fraternity life and track and field. It will be interesting to see whether Wise regains his spot this fall.
  • Rafe Peavey is listed as an “OR” backup at quarterback along with Austin Allen, even though Allen appeared to be the priority backup during the team’s spring game.
