At a position short on numbers the past few years, Sam Pittman and defensive coordinator Barry Odom are working to change that.

The Razorbacks added three linebackers from high school and a graduate transfer in Levi Draper from Oklahoma with two years of eligibility left.

The three high school linebackers are Kelin Burrie (6-0, 205) from Harvy, Louisiana, Helen Cox, Atlanta Woodward Academy’s Jacorrei Turner (6-2, 205) and J.T. Towers (6-2, 205) from Joe T. Robinson.
