Ryan Silverfield (HC) – Entering his first season as the Razorbacks’ head coach, Coach Silverfield has high expectations to fill for an impatient fanbase looking to climb back into the national spotlight. After the firing of the beloved Sam Pittman, Razorback fans want to start seeing the success they have been promised for the past decade. Entering this week, the Razorbacks are 1-1 after suffering a demoralizing loss to No. 20 Utah, but Coach Silverfield is looking to get the signature win that is so important for every first-year coach in college football.

‌Christian Marshall (WR #6) The Boise State transfer has already solidified himself as a key piece of the Razorback passing attack leading the team in receptions and yards to this point in the season recording 12 catches for 142 yards through two games. The 6’3 receiver appears to be a threat on all parts of the field, but he could be especially dangerous in the red zone against a formidable Junkyard Dawgs secondary.

‌Braylen Russell (RB #0) After rushing for a team high 49 yards in the season opener against North Alabama, the first back of this talented backfield struggled in the loss against Utah only gaining 13 yards on five carries. However, the rushing attack of the Razorbacks relies heavily on his performance. If Russell struggles to get rolling early, so will the entire offense.

‌Sutton Smith (RB #5) The starting back on paper for the Razorbacks is the other back along with Russell doing the heavy lifting for this rushing attack. The transfer from Memphis is almost like a Swiss Army knife for the offense who is involved in everything including returning punts for the Razorbacks. He was recorded 22 carries up to this point along with five receptions on the year. On special teams, he has returned two punts for 28 yards so far this season.

‌Quincy Rhodes Jr. (DE #97) The senior edge rusher from Little Rock is the catalyst for this defensive unit. Recording 44 tackles with 15.5 being tackles for loss in 2025, Rhodes has every offensive coordinator up at night wondering how to block and scheme the 6’6, 273-pounder lurking on the edge. So far this season, Rhodes has been off to a relatively slow start only recording one tackle for loss in the loss against Utah, but players like this do not stay quiet for long.

‌Khmori House (LB/ Star #6) The UNC transfer is one of the major pieces brought over in Coach Silverfield’s new and improved Razorbacks. Much like Sutton Smith is for the Razorback offense, House is similarly a jack of all trades defensive player possessing the ability to disrupt the run game as a linebacker, blitz off the edge, and cover receivers and backs out of the backfield. In 2025, House recorded a stat in nearly every possible category recording 81 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack, one forced fumble, and an interception.
