FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football has moved Keyshawn Blackstock from offensive line to defensive tackle, sixth-year coach Sam Pittman said during his first weekly radio show of the season Wednesday.

Blackstock, a 6-5, 320-pound redshirt senior, played in 12 games and started 9 in his first season with the program last year. He played the first 6 games at right tackle and the last 6 at left guard.

He was battling for a starting spot on the right side of the offensive line with redshirt freshman guard Kobe Branham, versatile redshirt junior E'Marion Harris and redshirt freshman tackle Shaq McRoy.
