08/29/22 - *Drew Sanders, Jr/2023, Arkansas, 6-4, 235 (DS#3 OLB) + More +

The University of Arkansas and LSU didn't work out a football trade in the offseason, it just looked that way. The Razorbacks and Tigers, SEC West rivals, swapped two players each on defense. Arkansas lost defensive backs Joe Foucha and Greg Brooks, both Louisiana natives, to LSU. The Razorbacks added cornerback Dwight McGlothern, who started six games for LSU last season, and Tigers defensive end Landon Jackson. Arkansas has four transfers from other SEC teams, including linebacker Drew Sanders (Alabama) and safety Latavious Brini (Georgia).

Sanders is set to be a starter, while Brini, McGlothern and Jackson all figure to be on the two-deep chart. "A big thing for me was trying to stay in the SEC," said Sanders, who is from Denton, Texas. "But between staying in the SEC, I wanted to be closer to home, too." Sanders, a junior who played in 12 games at Alabama last season with three starts, said he also considered Oklahoma and Texas, both Big 12 teams that will join the SEC no later than the 2025 season. In the end, Arkansas and the SEC won out with Sanders over the Sooners and Longhorns. "There's a big sense of pride with playing in the SEC," Sanders said. "And I just still wanted to be a part of that." - Northwest Arkansas Times

Coach Sam Pittman said one of the promises he made center Ricky Stromberg when the Tulsa Union product returned for his senior year was to help add versatility to his game. While Pittman said the Razorbacks wouldn't move Stromberg to any other spot to get a different center in the game, the 6-4, 318-pounder has taken around 35 or 40 snaps at guard in camp. "We told him if he came back we could help him with his draft by moving him to guard so the guys could see him play guard," Pittman said. "The scouts were in today and they talked to me about it and I said 'Look at practice this and look at practice that and you'll see him playing guard, live, one-on-one versus the ones. So we have tried to help him that way and he's certainly been good to us." - Northwest Arkansas Times

08/29/22 - Matt Landers, rSr/2023, Arkansas, 6-4, 200 (DS#25 WR) + More +

Returning senior Warren Thompson and transfer senior Matt Landers have been two of the most talked-about players in training camp for the University of Arkansas, and both of the receivers visited the media room at Reynolds Razorback Stadium after Tuesday's full-pad practice along with nickel back Myles Slusher. Thompson was asked if he heard talk of the receivers being a question mark coming out of spring drills after losing first-round NFL Draft pick Treylon Burks.

Turns out he had. "I think when we heard that, that the wide receivers were the biggest question mark, I think that's when we took it personally," Thompson said. "Everybody in the room, we made it our mission to be great every day and be consistent. I think that's what it was." Thompson is the leading returning receiver with 19 receptions for 304 yards and 2 touchdowns. Landers racked up 20 receptions for 514 yards, an inflated average of 25.7 yards per catch at Toledo last season after transferring there from Georgia after 2020. He said his connection to Coach Sam Pittman, strength and conditioning coach Jamil Walker and other staff who came from Georgia were factors in signing with the Razorbacks out of the transfer portal. "I feel like I've adjusted well," Landers said. "These guys are like my brothers. They took me in with open arms. They just made me feel welcome." - Northwest Arkansas Times

Arkansas added three defensive linemen through the transfer portal for the second year in a row. John Ridgeway, formerly of Illinois State, and Missouri transfers Tre Williams and Markell Utsey all became starters last season. This year's transfers are tackle Terry Hampton (Arkansas State) and ends Jordan Domineck (Georgia Tech) and Landon Jackson (LSU). Senior end Zach Williams said he hasn't given it much thought that the Razorback keep adding transfers to the line. "I say, 'Welcome to the team. We're going to push each other. Iron sharpens iron,'" Williams said. "That's just the way it is for me." Eric Gregory, a redshirt junior who plays end and tackle, said it's a positive to add experienced transfers. "We lose D-linemen, we need D-linemen, and so I welcome them in," Gregory said. "I try to give knowledge that I can. I try to take from them what they know to my game. "So I really don't think about it like, 'Oh, he's going to take my spot,' or stuff like that. We're just out here working man. And so the best man is going to play." - Northwest Arkansas Times

08/28/22 - Stephen Dix Jr., rSr/2026, Arkansas, 6-1, 246 (DS#20 ILB) + More +

Florida State coach Mike Norvell said redshirt sophomore linebacker Stephen Dix Jr. would miss the 2022-23 season with an undisclosed injury. The Dr. Phillips product appeared in 21 games (5 starts) during his two seasons with the Seminoles, totaling 59 tackles, including 3.5 tackles for loss. He played in all 12 games last season with 14 tackles and one pass breakup. "Stephen has been a great player and teammate in regards to the things that he's had to go through and things he's had to work [through]," said Norvell. "He's responded to a lot of adversity that's shown up over the last couple of years. He played a ton as a true freshman and last year was more in a limited role. "It's one of those things that's just a part of the game, but it's going to continue to call on some of the younger guys." Dix wasn't listed on FSU's projected 2-deep depth chart for Saturday's game against Duquesne. - Orlando Sentinel

08/28/22 - Terry Hampton, rSr/2023, Arkansas, 6-0, 303 (DS#44 DT) + More +

It happened four years later than Terry Hampton hoped, but he's finally getting his shot to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Hampton, a fifth-year senior defensive tackle from El Dorado, transferred from Arkansas State University and has worked his way into the Razorbacks' playing rotation. Having appendicitis as a junior and a knee injury as a senior in high school impacted Hampton's recruiting options. "I definitely was a Razorback," Hampton said of growing up cheering for the University of Arkansas. "My pops, he always wanted me to play for the Razorbacks. "Life has come full circle, and I'm here now for sure." Hampton said he's grateful ASU continued to recruit him and offered a scholarship.

Ranked the No. 123 defensive tackle nationally by 247Sports.com, he also was recruited by Memphis, Tulsa, Texas State, Tulane and Louisiana-Monroe. After playing in 36 games for the Red Wolves, including 19 starts, Hampton went into the transfer portal. He was limited to six games last season after suffering another knee injury, but Houston and SMU showed interest. Then Arkansas made an offer. "I took it as soon as possible," Hampton said. "It was a no-brainer." - Northwest Arkansas Times
