Havoc-Wreaking SEC Transfer Addition Clears Picture on Ron Roberts’ Defensive Plans

Don’t look now, but new Arkansas football coach Ryan Silverfield is heating up in the transfer portal.

Things change on a dime in the portal, but as of Thursday evening, the Hogs are 10th nationally in On3’s transfer class rankings. That comes after a flurry of additions to the defensive front Wednesday.

The Razorbacks’ defense was putrid all around last year, but pressure in the backfield – a lack thereof, to be more specific – was one of their most glaring issues. Even with the superhuman performance of Quincy Rhodes Jr. (8 sacks), Arkansas finished 13th in the SEC with 22 sacks.
