The Arkansas Defense as a whole lost some key pieces but in the secondary that impact was not quite as pronounced. Alan Turner at Strong Safety,Carroll Washington at Corner, and Tevin Mitchel at Nickel played a lot of snaps over their careers, but several talented underclassmen are ready to jump into those roles. The overall depth is improved from last season which will give the back part of the defense more options and an expanded rotation.
The Defensive staff have a noticeable aptitude for finding the specific skill set, maximizing that and putting those players in comfortable situations.
