We continue our HawgBeat position preview series ahead of the start of fall camp with the offensive line.
With Sam Pittman and offensive line coach Cody Kennedy going into year four at Arkansas, some of the names on the offensive line will be their recruits this fall.
Of the five spots on the offensive line, two are virtually set in stone, two seem strong and one remains a question mark entering fall camp.
Here is a full preview of the offensive line position for Arkansas ahead of fall camp, including a breakdown of each guy, a three-deep depth chart and storylines to watch...
Arkansas Offensive Linemen
Returning players: Brady Latham (redshirt senior), Beaux Limmer (redshirt senior), Ty'Kieast Crawford (senior), Devon Manuel (redshirt sophomore), Terry Wells (redshirt sophomore), Cole Carson (redshirt sophomore), Patrick Kutas (sophomore), Eli Henderson (redshirt freshman), Andrew Chamblee (redshirt freshman), E'Marion Harris (redshirt freshman), Josh Street (redshirt sophomore - walk-on), Brock Burns (redshirt freshman - walk-on), Brooks Edmonson (redshirt freshman - walk-on)
Additions: Josh Braun (redshirt junior), Amaury Wiggins (redshirt sophomore), Joey Su'a (freshman), Paris Patterson (freshman), Luke Brown (freshman), Tommy Varhall (redshirt sophomore - walk-on), Payton Simpson (redshirt junior - walk-on), Aaron Smith (freshman - walk-on)
The Starters
Redshirt seniors Brady Latham and Beaux Limmer are back to lead lead offensive line coach Cody Kennedy's bunch. Both were starting guards last season, but Limmer will shift over to center this season while Latham will stay at left guard.
Latham was named to Preseason Second Team All-SEC by the media and Limmer was likely left off the list for his lack of experience at center.
Based on how spring practices went, the tackle spots seem solid entering fall camp.
Sophomore Patrick Kutas drew plenty of praise in the spring and he is expected to step in at right tackle after Dalton Wagner held that spot last season.
At left tackle, redshirt sophomore Devon Manuel is expected to be the starter. The 6-foot-9, 310-pound native of Sunset, Louisiana, played just nine snaps last season, but Pittman sounded confident in Manuel's abilities at SEC Media Days.
Right guard is the one spot that has a question mark entering fall camp. Three different names could fill the spot: Florida transfer Joshua Braun, senior Ty'Kieast Crawford or redshirt freshman E'Marion Harris.
