Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema met with the Northwest Arkansas Touchdown Club Wednesday and dropped a couple bits of news to those in attendance.
With quarterback Rafe Peavey officially on his way out of the program and off to SMU, Bielema announced redshirt freshman Ty Storey as Razorbacks’ backup quarterback to starter Austin Allen.
Bielema says Ty Storey is currently the #2 QB on depth chart.

Bielema also announced his team was dealing with two additional transfers, as junior defensive tackle Ke’Tyrus Marks is no longer with the program – having left for Samford – and junior defensive back Cornelius Floyd also intending to leave via transfer. At this time, Floyd does not have a potential destination in mind.

Both Floyd and Marks only appeared in one game last season, as they both saw action in the 63-28 home win over Tennessee-Martin.
