A projected spring depth chart for Arkansas was released by 247Sports not too long ago.
Another Allen is set to guide the Razorbacks offense as junior Austin Allen is expected to be the team’s starting quarterback. Meanwhile, Bret Bielema’s backfield will be led by the hefty 6-foot-2, 256-pound senior Kody Walker, who rushed for 6 touchdowns last season.
The receiving corps is loaded with experience with six upperclassmen. Tight end Hunter Henry might be gone, but senior Jeremy Sprinkle is around after recording 27 catches for 389 yards and 6 TDs.
Dan Skipper, named Second-Team All-SEC last season, returns on the offensive line.
Defensively, all but two positions are projected to be filled by upperclassmen. A lot is expected of senior defensive end Deatrich Wise, who posted 8 sacks last season. Meanwhile, linebacker Dre Greenlaw was named to the Freshman All-SEC team last season, and he’ll look to build on a campaign that saw him finish second on the team in tackles (95) to go with 3.5 tackles for loss and 2 forced fumbles.
