New faces on defense get to shine

FAYETTEVILLE -- When not affectionately calling his Arkansas defense the "Bad News Bears," Bret Bielema often refers to it as the "No-Name defense."

"New-Name" defense may be the more accurate moniker now. At least for the second-team defense.

During Saturday afternoon's scrimmage at Reynolds Razorback Stadium, more than a third of the second-team defense was manned by true freshmen. Hjalte Froholdt, the nose tackle from Denmark via Warren G. Harding High in Warren, Ohio, and IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., enrolled at the UA in January and went through spring ball.
