The signing class of 2021 has only been on campus for a few months, but a number of players from it are already paying huge dividends for Arkansas three games into the season.
True freshman AJ Green has been explosive at running back, which was expected based on his speed and his high school accolades out of Tulsa Union.
Raheim ‘Rocket’ Sanders is the same way. He has already found the end zone against Texas and is slated to return kicks, although he’s only returned one thus far.
Ketron Jackson has suited up in all three games and caught one pass for 16 yards, although he did get a touchdown wiped out because of a penalty against Georgia Southern.
Probably the highest-impact freshman to this point has been kicker Cameron Little. He is 6 for 6 on field goals and connected on all 15 extra points he has attempted.
There are a number of players who have yet to play yet, including heralded in-state guys like Erin Outley and Landon Rogers.
Defensive backs Chase Lowery and Keuan Parker along with Jermaine Hamilton-Jordan have also yet to find their way onto the field in a game.
That could change now that Southeastern Conference play is set to begin. It will be an all hands-on-deck approach, and the Razorbacks don’t get a bye week until October 30.
Depth will be critical, especially if injuries occur. Offensive linemen Terry Wells, Cole Carson and Devon Manuel may be asked to contribute.
