Pittman likes speed of new defensive backs

Among the areas they wanted to address were quarterback, tight end and each level of the defense.

Amid understandable excitement surrounding the signings of four-star quarterback Malik Hornsby, the No. 9 dual-threat in the country, and offensive linemen Jalen St. John and Marcus Henderson, Arkansas also put the finishing touches on a solid group of defensive backs.
