Arkansas Razorbacks

Offense: Feleipe Franks, QB
Yes, you know the name. And yes, he's still in the SEC. But now the 6-foot-6, 235-pound strong-arm is a Razorback, not a Gator. The quarterback position was a mess last season, with five different starting QBs and not one of them being very effective. Franks started 25 games for Florida from 2017 to '19, and his SEC experience will be a boon to this offense, which returns most of the skill position players.

Defense: Xavier Kelly, DT
The Hogs up front weren't very Hog-like last season, and three of the four starters have moved on. That's why Kelly, a transfer from Clemson, becomes such a huge addition to the defense this season. The former Kansas High School Player of the Year had a star-crossed career in Death Valley and has yet to tap into his sizable ability. The line will also have senior end Dorian Gerald returning after he miss all but one game a year ago.
