FAYETTEVILLE — Much of the preseason discussion regarding Arkansas’ revamped defensive line centered on its three big offseason additions.

John Ridgeway, Markell Utsey and Tre Williams performed at a level in camp that pushed them into roles as key contributors. All three are listed as starters, according to the Razorbacks’ depth chart for Week 1, though Ridgeway might not play.

Redshirt junior Isaiah Nichols’ name was rarely mentioned during the team’s training camp.
