Even though they released a 2-Deep for the OL, the coaches' say only RS-FR Center Jacob Still (6-1, 297) is a sure starter.

Still, whose dad was an All-American center at Tennessee, and brother just complete 2 years as the starting center at Ole Miss, has been outstanding according to their coaches.

Did say Grad Transfer Jaypee Philbert (6-5, 314), has looked good at LT, as has Lanard Bonner(6-5, 310) at RT. Bonner was considered the best OL on the team while setting out last year.

True Sophomore Troy Elliott (6-4.5, 287), who started a couple of games as a freshman and is probably their most physical offensive lineman, has missed practice time with an ankle injury, but should be 100% by game time.

At safety pair of sophomores apparently has won the starting jobs.  Coaches are very high on B.J. Edmonds ( 6, 207), son of the former Razorback with he same name, and Boise bounce-back  Darreon Jackson ( 6-0, 202). Edmonds started a few games as a true, and their coaches think Jackson could be one of their best ever.

Senior DT Dee Liner (6-2, 337) has not been ruled out of the Nebraska game.

True freshman Dwayne Fisher (6-5, 345) scratch that wrong player, rather Andre Harris JR (6-3, 344), who played some at point guard on his HS basketball team, could see PT as an HB.

RS-FR William Bradley-King ( 6-5, 255), has been getting rave reviews by the coaches and made the 2-deep at DE, a position, that had very good depth and talent.

DC Joe Cauthen said Larry Wooden (6-0, 202), who only played offence in HS, has been the most impressive freshman, and is listed as the backup at the nickel position.

Here is picture of Elliott & Still, who despite their youth, and being the smallest players expected to start on the OL, are probably their most physical  offensive linemen. Little on the "mean and nasty" side according to their coaches.
