Coaches search for right rotation at LB

FAYETTEVILLE — The linebackers unit for the University of Arkansas will merit extra attention this season.

Even with a trio of veterans returning — newly elected team captain Grant Morgan, Bumper Pool and Hayden Henry — the coaching staff expects the Razorbacks will do more shuffling at the spot than in recent seasons.

In what has been an up-and-down camp for the linebackers, senior Deon Edwards and redshirt sophomore Andrew Parker have gotten plenty of first-unit action.

On his radio show Wednesday, Coach Sam Pittman said he expected a group of about six, with transfer Levi Draper joining the above five, to be in the rotation during the early stages of the season.
