Report: Arkansas redshirt freshman defender enters name in NCAA transfer portal
In the past 13 months, the Arkansas Razorbacks have lost a whopping 28 players for a variety of reasons.
No. 28 is redshirt freshman DL Billy Ferrell, who is leaving the team and has entered his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal, per a report from 247Sports.
Ferrell was a 3-star recruit in the 2018 class out of Fordyce, Arkansas. He redshirted in 2018 after suffering a foot injury.
He has yet to announce where he’ll transfer to, but other schools are now able to contact him to discuss his options.
We’ll see where he ends up, but for now, he’s another loss for the Razorbacks, who have had plenty of attrition since Chad Morris took over the program.
There are reports that this guy has an herb and motivation problem. Possibly another addition by subtraction.
There were a lot of bad apples on the Hog team last year (Coach B hold overs). When you have a CB declare early for the draft and he runs a 4.61 (28th out of 32) and has the worst vertical and broad jumps among DB’s that should tell you all you need to know about the extreme lack of speed on the team. (There was a D-lineman, Armon Watt, who also ran at the combine and was the second slowest d-lineman running at 5.23)
Of the 28 players to leave the program in the past year, all but a small handful will not play at the power 5 level.
Chad Morris has us moving in the right direction. We got rid of a lot of Bielema’s dead weight.
