What does Arkansas football need from transfer portal?
The short answer to the question above is a little bit of everything.
On defense, Arkansas needs new talent at defensive tackle, linebacker and safety. None of those positions were good enough in 2025, and will only return one starter. Silverfield has a blank canvas outside of defensive end Quincy Rhodes.
On offense, the Razorbacks must find a slew of newcomers at the skill positions. Arkansas’ leading rusher and three leading receivers from 2025 are gone. Silverfield needs to find an SEC-quality running back to pair with Braylen Russell. It will be interesting to monitor who Arkansas acquires at wide receiver with CJ Brown, Courtney Crutchfield and Antonio Jordan all possible returnees.
The offensive line has the best foundation on the roster with the returns of Kobe Branham and Caden Kitler, and potentially E’Marion Harris. The Hogs will be in the market for a starting left tackle to replace Corey Robinson, but they also need depth.
