FAYETTEVILLE -- Vernon Hargreaves coached all the linebackers last season in the Arkansas Razorbacks' 4-3 defense.
This spring, Hargreaves has help as the Hogs switch philosophies to incorporate four linebackers in their base package. Chad Walker has been hired to handle the outside linebackers, but Hargreaves has help beyond that in the form of Dre Greenlaw, the junior who is expected to start at the weak-side or "Will" spot in the revised scheme when he returns after surgery on his right foot.
Analysis Arkansas struggled to set the edge against the run in many of its SEC West games, but the Razorbacks also took some gashing on the inside, particularly against teams with dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks.
