State of the Hogs: Chavis not afraid to play freshmen

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas defensive coordinator John Chavis asked for a little more time before making any predictions on who would play among the newcomers soon to arrive in on campus.

The question is relevant. Most will get show up in the next month or so, in time for the start of summer school and the beginning of offseason workouts.

While not making any comments about the help that's clearly on the way, Chavis said he's not afraid of playing first-year players in the SEC and neither is head coach Chad Morris.

It comes with risks. Freshmen sometime make mistakes.
