Junior-to-be Tyler Wilson is the most likely to replace Ryan Mallett as the Arkansas quarterback in 2011. Mallett announced Thursday he's leaving for the NFL.

So now that Ryan Mallett is leaving for the NFL, let’s look at the future of the position at Arkansas.

Junior (to be) Tyler Wilson and sophomore (to be) Brandon Mitchell seem like the most likely candidates to replace Mallett. Mitchell said a few weeks ago he and Wilson look forward to the challenge.

“As soon as Ryan is gone, me and Tyler, we tease each other about it,” Mitchell said. “I told him to bring his helmet to practice every day because it’s going to be a battle.”
