Spring football starts Thursday for the Arkansas Razorbacks, and a lot of players have seen gains and losses in weight from last season.
The Razorbacks officially released their spring football roster on Thursday, and Hogbeat has the full details of how each player’s weight has changed since their listed weights last season.
Some significant changes include a pair of offensive linemen losing weight – E’Marion Harris lost 43 pounds and Devon Manuel dropped 24 pounds. On the other side of the gap, two defensive linemen put on a bit of weight—Marcus Miller added 20 pounds and JJ Hollingsworth added 25 pounds.
Many newcomers saw a change in their weight compared to their listed weight when they signed, and some new transfers saw a change as well.
Note: Returning entrants’ weights are compared to their listed weights on last year’s roster. Transfers’ weights are compared to the weight they listed with their previous school. Freshmen’s weights are compared with the weight listed at UA when they signed. New walk-on players do not have 2022 weights listed.
