FAYETTEVILLE -- The previous Pro-style offense at the University of Arkansas was so friendly to tight ends that it netted the nation's No. 1 recruiting class at the position in 2015 and featured many multiple tight end packages.
While the new Chad Morris offensive system is sure to highlight wide receivers, the tight ends are far from an afterthought.
WHO’S BACK Cheyenne O’Grady (1 start in 2017), Grayson Gunter (redshirted last season), Hayden Johnson
ANALYSIS The tight ends have perhaps the most veteran group on the team with mostly upperclassmen. Gunter, who redshirted last year to increase strength after a second labrum surgery, and Kern are the lone sophomores.
