FAYETTEVILLE — Barring a surprise when the Arkansas football team’s official depth chart is released, Kobe Branham will be the starting right guard for the Razorbacks in 2025.
Branham and redshirt senior Keyshawn Blackstock duked it out in camp, but the latter has since been moved to defensive tackle amid depth concerns. Redshirt junior E’Marion Harris and redshirt freshman Shaq McRoy have battled for the right tackle spot.
Offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino said he was unsure if the outside spot would be settled before the season opener at 3:15 p.m. Saturday at home against Alabama A&M. Harris has the experience and can play multiple positions, Petrino added, while McRoy must better cope with the heat and longer, grueling practices in August.
