FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas coach Ryan Silverfield mentioned Sunday evening that he hasn't filled out a true depth chart yet for his players."I think they have a general idea, but I I constantly want them to to feel like, hey, no, there's no true depth chart," Silverfield said. "There's been some guys that probably know, 'Hey, I'm probably starting here.'"In a way, the Razorbacks' first-year coach seemed a bit aggravated at some of the more experienced players on his roster. He went out on a limb to challenge them during his post-scrimmage press confernce."We're still looking at some of the other wide receiver positions. I think we're solidified at the offensive line," Silverfield continued. "Some of the defensive linemen are are rotating more. So, we have some starters that need to get it in gear or they won't start game one and and
that's okay."Some guys that have played a lot of college football may not be starters for game one. And that's my decision. [A decision] that [our coaching staff] will have to make if they're not ready to play."Here are a few players who have solidified their positioning as starters at least for game one of the 2026 season.Arkansas Razorbacks wide receiver Chris Marshall (6) runs after a catch during a passing drill during spring practice at the Arkansas Razorbacks practice facilities. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectChris Marshall, CJ BrownIf there are going to be a couple of wide receivers who standout among the rest this fall it's going to be Marshall and Brown.Marshall, the transfer from Boise State started to scratch the surface of what he is capable of doing last season with the Broncos. But appears to have refined his abilities as a big play threat throughout fall camp. The 6-foot-3, 215 pound fifth-year senior caught a 68-yard touchdown pass from KJ Jackson and another 25-yard reception from backup quarterback AJ Hill. That production followed a huge first scrimmage last Sunday where he caught over 130 yards and a touchdown.For Brown, he caught passes of 12,15 and 29-yards Saturday night, and has proven to be a complimentary option to Marshall in the passing game. "It's honestly awesome how many weapons we have in that room," Jackson said on Sunday. "Every guy in that room I've seen make a lot of plays fall camp. Chris, he's a monster, a dog. And CJ, that two-minute drive, I think I connected with him four or five times and he ended up scoring a touchdown on that drive.
