*Listed with an "or" on the depth chart... We used the player who started the most recent game, with the exception of Arkansas' two defensive ends who were out because of COVID-19 protocols

**Listed first-team running back Rakeem Boyd has since opted out, so we are listing backup Trelon Smith as the starter.

***Catalon will miss the first half of the Missouri game because of a targeting foul called against him in the fourth quarter against LSU. Myles Slusher or Myles Mason are expected to start in his place, but he is still listed as the starter on the depth chart.
