Before anyone gets mad at Coach Thomas for not saying something about Alex Collins this interview was done before Arkansas had received Alex's papers so he couldn't comment on him.

I do feel a lot better about our running back situation with the additions of Collins and Evans. I do think J Will is going to be a great player glad to have him back with some experience. Do you think Kody Walker is moving to full back?

Coach Thomas is my FAV new Offensive Coach along with Sam. He is the Real Deal. I will be surprised if he doesn't reel in Joe Mixon.

I think Kody will likely play some TB and some FB both but I think he is more of a FB

I doubt he moves to FB. We are plenty deep there already between Small, Arinze and Linton. Even more if they get Chris Jones to walk-on.
Walker is about the same size as John Clay was at Wisconsin so I bet he gets a shot at RB first.

Good article Otis
Agree with Dalton above that we are still thin at RB. Walker IMO will have to play RB because of the lack of numbers. But it could be one of those years where Williams and Collins stay healthy or it could go the other way and both get dinged you know they will get dinged up. Don't sleep on Holmes that kid has breakaway speed and quickness. Wonder if Fischer stays at CB or moves back to RB. Seems like I remember some good reports on the guy when he was a freshman.

I would move Fisher back to RB. I dont think he has the speed to be a DB

Don't think he will ever play at CB. Not sure he would play at RB but if I was Fischer, RB is a better option.
