Arkansas is set to hire its next athletics director, who spent six years of his career in Fayetteville.

Derrick Gragg, who is in his fifth year at Tulsa, will be named athletics director at Arkansas, according to multiple reports. But Gragg worked at Arkansas for six years beginning in 2000 when he was an associate athletic director, and later promoted twice. Gragg would replace Jeff Long, who was fired two weeks ago after he’d been with the Razorbacks since 2008.

Among his duties at Arkansas, according to his Tulsa bio, was involved in various areas including: athletic administration, sport program oversight, marketing, sports information, recruitment, budgeting, student-athlete support, compliance, facilities and game management, fund-raising and research.

After Arkansas, he became the athletics director at Eastern Michigan before Tulsa.

At Tulsa, Gragg was in charge for Tulsa’s transition into the American Athletic Conference. Within his first 20 months, Gragg announced the hiring of Missouri head basketball coach Frank Haith as Tulsa’s new head coach in April 2014, and chose Baylor offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery, to coach the football team.

Under Gragg’s leadership, Tulsa teams have won a total of 20 league championships and advanced to postseason competition 41 times.

A former wide receiver, Gragg lettered four years at Vanderbilt and graduated in 1992. He earned his master’s degree in sports administration from Wayne State University in 1999. Gragg received his doctorate in higher education administration from the University of Arkansas in May of 2004 and also taught over a dozen college courses during his tenure there as an athletic administrator.
