FAYETTEVILLE -- Jack Kenley was the University of Arkansas' backup shortstop behind Jax Biggers last season, so it seemed logical he'd take over as the starter when Biggers moved on after being drafted by the Texas Rangers.
But Razorbacks Coach Dave Van Horn moved sophomore Casey Martin from third base to shortstop and put Kenley -- a junior -- at second base in place of departing senior Carson Shaddy.
