FAYETTEVILLE — Evolving roster trends and NCAA regulations have created an interesting dynamic for University of Arkansas spring football in 2022.

The Razorbacks under third-year Coach Sam Pittman have an influx of newcomers that includes a school-record 18 early enrollee freshmen, a half-dozen transfers, and a handful of players who earned a spot on the spring roster from a recent tryout.

That’s at least 31 players who have not been through a full segment of on-field practices in the Cardinal and Cream, more than a quarter of the current roster.
