Beaux Limmer is locked in. Brady Latham is locked in.
After that, coach Sam Pittman and offensive line coach Cody Kennedy have a decent idea of who will start for the Arkansas football team up front. But it’s far from set in stone.
Limmer was named to the Rimington Award watchlist on Friday as potentially the nation’s best center. Latham was named a preseason All-SEC second-teamer at SEC Media Days in July. Even if Kennedy, Pittman and Co. are unsure about the rest, those two players provide a good starting point, anyway.
The closest to joining them as all-but-guaranteed starter is guard Josh Braun. Braun transferred from Florida in the spring where he was a starter for the Gators. That work he put in with Arkansas in the spring upon arrival has given an advantage as the Razorbacks have opened fall practice ahead of the regular season.
“I think coming out of spring ball, Josh has earned the right to be with the 1s,” Pittman said Friday after Arkansas’ first practice. “We like him at guard. The depth chart is all over the place right now. It will change tomorrow.”
Regardless, Pittman said he feels comfortable with the depth and talent Arkansas has on the offensive line. And, really, it’s tough to say otherwise from the outside looking in.
