Arkansas Razorbacks Linebacker Andrew Harris Rises After Transfer

The Arkansas Razorbacks' linebacker depth chart is evolving with key players like Xavian Sorey Jr., Stephen Dix Jr., and Bradley Shaw leading the unit, while transfer Andrew Harris is emerging as a significant contributor after a strong fall camp. Harris, who transferred from UCF and missed spring practices, has impressed coaches with his physicality and rapid development, earning consideration for increased playing time in a fluid linebacker rotation. Defensive coordinator Travis Williams emphasizes the ongoing adjustments in linebacker roles, highlighting the fluid nature of the depth chart and the potential impact of younger players like Harris and Trent Whalen. Meanwhile, Arkansas aims to improve upon a 2024 season marked by heavy reliance on just two linebackers and a low ranking in SEC scoring defense. In other football news, the Kansas Jayhawks are rebuilding their offense with experienced rushers Daniel Hishaw Jr. and LeShon Williams, with surprising contributions from non-running back players leading in rushing touchdowns. The Detroit Lions, addressing depth issues exposed by injuries last season, have seen defensive back Rock-Ya Sin make a strong case to secure a roster spot through solid preseason performances.
