It's always interesting to see which freshmen work their way into the depth chart at the start of a new season, but there weren't many surprises when Arkansas released its Week 1 chart on Monday.

For the most part, the newcomers that are expected to play this season are the same guys that have been projected as immediate impact players since the day they signed.

Injuries did play a role for a few who aren't on the current depth chart, but those guys could factor in at some point.

At tailback, Devwah Whaley was a four-star signee who had other notable offers from Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma, TCU, Notre Dame and several others. He is already the third player listed on Arkansas' running back depth behind Kody Walker and Rawleigh Williams (who were listed together with an "OR" between their names).
