Arkansas football: Offseason depth chart – wide receivers

Wide receiver is the biggest question mark on the Arkansas football roster. But it could also be the biggest breakout unit.

No position on the Arkansas football roster is a bigger question mark heading into the 2023 season than wide receiver.

And don’t take “question mark” to be a negative. It’s just that. A question. The group returns a grand total of 14 receptions as Razorbacks last year. But don’t mistake the lack of experience at Arkansas as a lack of experience at all. Or talent.

Between Isaac TeSlaa, Andrew Armstrong and Tyrone Broden, the Razorbacks’ top three projected wideouts have all played college ball before. TeSlaa played at the Division II level, Armstrong at FCS and Broden in Mid-American Conference.

Among returners, Isaiah Sategna, Jaedon Wilson and Bryce Stephens look to make the biggest impact.

But keep in mind, it’s June. The order below is just a projection. In June. With all the inexperience, plenty could change between now and September.

Penn State misses on another transfer wide receiver

Penn State comes up short on recruiting key transfer wide receiver

Things may be going well for Penn State on the recruiting trail, but the attempts to land a veteran wide receiver out of the transfer portal are hitting a bit of a snag for James Franklin and his staff. After seeing NC State transfer Devin Carter change up his commitment from Penn State to West Virginia, Penn State has now come up short on the attempt to secure a transfer receiver from Bowling Green.

Tyrone Broden made a visit to Penn State a week ago to see if it would be the best possible fit for him out of the transfer portal. The visit came complete with the typical photo shoot to allow the imagination to run a little bit about the possibilities of adding an established wide receiver to the offense.

But there was another stop on Broden’s schedule with the Arkansas Razorbacks, with another opportunity to try on some official gear. And that visit apparently went quite well, as a day later Broden announced his commitment to the Razorbacks of the SEC.

Broden had 32 receptions for 506 yards and seven touchdowns for Bowling Green in 2022. In 2021, Broden had 36 receptions for 596 yards and five touchdowns. He would certainly have been a veteran presence that Penn State could benefit from in 2023 with an offense that will be big on young stars at running back and quarterback and with room to grow at receiver.

Instead, Penn State will continue to search the transfer portal for any potential options still out there. Unfortunately, finding a player similar to the level of last year’s big receiver transfer addition, [autotag]Mitchell Tinsley[/autotag], is beginning to look more and more difficult.

Penn State extends offer to Bowling Green transfer receiver

Penn State extends offer to transfer wide receiver

With the Rose Bowl celebration now in the rearview mirror, the work to fill the holes on Penn State’s roster in 2023 is once again in the spotlight. One of the areas of need for the team next year will be the wide receiver position after losing Parker Washington and [autotag]Mitchell Tinsley[/autotag], and it is one of the positions James Franklin said would be a focus moving forward after the early signing period.

And it appears Penn State has extended an offer to Bowling Green wide receiver Tyrone Broden. Broden announced on his Twitter account on Wednesday he received an offer from the Nittany Lions. This offer joins a number of other offers he has received since entering the NCAA’s transfer portal, including Colorado, Oklahoma State, Syracuse, and more.

Broden had 32 receptions for 506 yards and seven touchdowns for Bowling Green in 2022. In 2021, Broden had 36 receptions for 596 yards and five touchdowns. He would certainly be a veteran presence that Penn State could benefit from in 2023 with an offense that will be big on young stars at running back and quarterback and with room to grow at receiver.
