FAYETTEVILLE — When the Arkansas football team faces Texas Tech at the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 27, opportunity will abound for many players to gain their first extended game experience.
Between nine players who started at least one game transferring away and four players opting out in preparation for the 2025 NFL Draft, the Razorbacks (6-6) have plenty of holes that need filled. The team will begin a stretch of 11 bowl practices Friday.
Perhaps the most unexpected shakeup for Arkansas ahead of its bowl game is along the offensive line. Three starters, center Addison Nichols and guards Joshua Braun and Patrick Kutas, entered the portal earlier this week.
