It’s going to be a mad dash to the transfer portal finish line for Arkansas football.
As of Wednesday night, the Razorbacks had signed six players and lost 20 through the portal. The Hogs are slated to lose 15 starters from their 2024 team that finished 6-6 and will play Texas Tech in the Liberty Bowl later this month.
Sam Pittman has his work cut out for him over the next 10 days. The winter transfer portal will be open until Dec. 28, and then all focus shifts toward spring football.
Here’s a closer look at who Arkansas has already snagged through the portal, along with the remaining needs and a few targets the Hogs are hoping to sign.

Arkansas football incoming transfers
The first player to jump on board was Oregon’s JacQawn McRoy, a 6-foot-8, 375-pound lineman who nearly committed to Arkansas out of high school last year. McRoy was rated as the No. 156 high school recruit in the country in the class of 2024 and could compete for a starting spot at tackle right away.
The Hogs have already signed three pass catchers in Fresno State wide receiver Raylen Sharpe, UAB wide receiver Kam Shanks and Texas A&M tight end Jaden Platt.
Sharpe was an FCS All-American with Missouri State in 2023 under the guidance of current Hogs’ wide receivers coach, Ronnie Fouch, and caught 51 passes for 523 yards this season with the Bulldogs. Shanks just finished his freshman season with 656 yards receiving and six touchdowns. Platt was highly-regarded as a high school recruit in 2023.
