FAYETTEVILLE -- Aside from one remaining undecided target on the board, Arkansas completed its 2018 signing class Wednesday.

The class currently sits at 16 players, but could increase to 17 depending on the announcement by Valencia (Calif.) College of the Canyons three-star defensive end Dorian Gerald on Friday.

Even if he doesn't choose to come to Fayetteville - he is considered a Florida lean in the Crystal Ball - the Razorbacks have an excess of scholarship players that will need to be sorted out before fall camp. As things currently stand, there are 89 scholarship players on the roster or signed to Arkansas, which is four more than the 85 allowed by NCAA rules.

Head coach Chad Morris revealed Wednesday that he honored the scholarships promised to three blue shirt players - Ty Clary, Gary Cross and Hayden Henry - by the previous staff. Clary and Henry, a pair of players who contributed as true freshmen, were known to be on scholarship already, but Cross - a Hutchinson (Kan.) C.C. transfer originally from Fordyce, Ark. - was a bit of a surprise.

That trio essentially takes the place of the three scholarship players who have left the program since the end of the semester. Kicker Cole Hedlund took advantage of the graduate transfer rule and will finish his career at North Texas, while offensive linemen Jake Heinrich and Zach Rogers have left the game entirely. The former had to retire because of health reasons and the latter had already graduated and wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement.

With only 12 scholarship seniors graduating and 16 recruits coming in, that means there will need to be at least four more scholarship players leave the team.

It is easy to speculate that with the addition of Connor Noland and John Stephen Jones, one of Arkansas' other quarterbacks - Cole Kelley, Ty Storey and Daulton Hyatt - could be a transfer candidate, but Morris likes his numbers at that position.

"When you count your 85 scholarships...you would like to have five quarterbacks and we are at five quarterbacks right now on scholarship," Morris said. "That’s been everywhere I have ever been. You have your five and then you have walk-ons that come in and add value to the room. I think (offensive coordinator Joe) Craddock would say the same thing."

Although Morris did not explicitly say there is a position he expects to whittle down, he indicated there could be some departures at wide receiver. Maleek Barkley, who was at that position during his redshirt season last year, has moved to running back to alleviate it some and there could be more movement.

"I believe there were 13 on scholarship and my target number there has always been 10 to 11," Morris said. "They are a little over there, so being able to move Maleek over to running back during the spring (helps that)."

He didn't divulge any other position changes, but hinted that there would likely be some more in the future. With that in mind, here is a look at the Razorbacks' current scholarship players and their classification for the 2018 season...
