YOUNG RAZORBACKS get looks in top groups.

FAYETTEVILLE — Chad Morris and his assistants for the Arkansas Razorbacks talked prior to the opening of fall camp about giving looks to a lot of players in the early going.

That approach was in evidence Thursday as freshman Connor Noland was first up at quarterback during a live-tackling, movethe-ball session early in the sixth practice for the University of Arkansas.

In addition, redshirt freshman Kirby Adcock took snaps on the first unit at left guard. while senior Hjalte Froholdt made the move to center for the injured Dylan Hays.

On defense, Gabe Richardson and Michael Taylor were paired as ends on the first team as Randy Ramsey was held out for a minor hamstring issue and McTelvin “Sosa” Agim worked with the second team.

True freshman John Stephen Jones took the second rack at quarterback in the same period, while Daulton Hyatt worked the third sequence. Junior Ty Storey and sophomore Cole Kelley had taken the majority of reps with the first and second teams at quarterback to this point.

“We got a chance to open up practice with some goodon-good in a live situation there, moving some guys around,” Morris said. “We put the freshmen in there at quarterback to see what they can do.

“Connor Noland was getting some reps with the ones and John Stephen getting reps with the twos, see if they can move the football and create a little bit of excitement on that sideline. I thought they both did a good job as Cole and Daulton and Ty have done to this point.”

Junior running back Devwah Whaley stood out with a couple of strong runs during the opening period, while tight end Austin Cantrell had a catch in the flats for decent yardage.
