Sam Pittman met with the media via Zoom on Monday to preview the start of spring practice. There were specific questions about goals to improve both the offense and defense.
The general answer to all those questions centered around competition, starting at quarterback where the Razorbacks must replace Feleipe Franks.
However, that quarterback battle begins with a clear leader. Pittman said sophomore KJ Jefferson will open the first practice Tuesday with the first team.
“KJ is our starter,” Pittman said. “But I do anticipate a nice battle (at quarterback).”
Jefferson started the Missouri game last year when Franks was out with rib injuries.
