Arkansas DB entering transfer portal after season with Razorbacks
An Arkansas defensive back is entering the transfer portal after 1 season with the program. Freshman Anthony Brown announced the decision on Twitter.
“First and foremost I would like to thank Coach Odom and Coach Bowman for putting forth the effort to help me grow as a player and man. I also want to thank the entire University of Arkansas for your support through it all,” Brown said. “Arkansas will forever have a place in my heart and the fans are unforgettable. With that being said I’ll be entering the transfer portal.”
The 6-foot, 180-pound Brown did not see any action this season. The Tennessee native arrived at Arkansas as a 3-star prospect, the No. 17 recruit from Tennessee, and the nation’s No. 48 safety according to the 247Sports Composite.

I’m so curious what all has gone on with our secondary. We have a bunch of guys transferring out that weren’t playing, meanwhile we were moving guys all over the place to fill the holes due to injuries.
Was there just a complete lack of development? I feel like my dachshund could have had a chance of seeing playing time had she had any eligibility left.
Did we fail to recruit or was our DB coach that bad? Any theories??
Did you have Barry Odom coaching for you?
The secondary was never good this year, Catalon is a rumour because he was NEVER around long enough to demonstrate he was the player everyone said he was….My fear is this: Everyone…meaning EVERYONE seemed to LOVE Sam Pittman, so why have over 30 players left the program if he is thought of so well? I was not worried at first, but now I am thrilled that Rocket, KJ and Briles HAVE indicated they will stay. We fell short of expectations this year, but we were NOT so bad either, unless there is still something we (as fans) do not understand yet. Kids are fickle these days…and now that they can literally get paid ao rhr complicates things too, but this is like rats abandoning a sinking ship….I didn’t think it was this bad-but what if it is?
Either the staff can’t evaluate or this guy is really bottom rung. Defense, especially your secondary, was nothing short of he worst and this guy still could’t get in a game. Not sure what it all says except it’s a bad look. The staff changes that have been made can only improve the play next season. 131st out of 131 FBS schools guarantees it.
