Hogs' defense looks better front to back

FAYETTEVILLE -- The contrast in Arkansas' defense now from this time last year stands out like Donald Trump's hair.

They don't go unnoticed.

Although Deatrich Wise started 2015 in obscurity and never actually started a game, his emergence was so prevalent that the senior defensive end starts this season on watch lists of three national defensive awards.

Dre Greenlaw, a safety at this time last year fresh out of Fayetteville High School, started Arkansas' final 11 games at weakside linebacker.

Greenlaw surged to second on the 2015 Razorbacks in tackles, and Coach Bret Bielema believes he could become the SEC's tackling leader as a sophomore.
