Arkansas hasn’t had a consistently above-average-in-the-SEC defensive line in several years. That may change in 2023.
With two transfers in to bolster three primary returners at defensive tackle, the Razorbacks have legitimate depth. Anthony Booker and Keivie Rose weren’t just basics at Maryland and Louisiana Tech, they were real players.
Cam Ball was Arkansas’ best on the inside last year and could take a step toward top-tier status this year. Eric Gregory has been as consistent as any linemen on the roster the last three years. Taurean Carter was on his way to becoming a star before injury.
Those five players will form the core of the interior of the defense for Arkansas. If the Razorbacks are good against when the season starts, you can be certain it’s coming from the defensive line.
Let’s take a look at the projected depth chart heading into the fall.
