The transfer portal is still a relatively new aspect in college sports, but its impact is being felt across the country — especially in college football — and Arkansas football is no exception.

In fact, the Razorbacks have had 25 scholarship players enter the portal this cycle, which began in August. That is believed to be tied with Texas A&M for the most in the FBS.

Some of them are more notable than others, with several moving on to other Power Five schools and a few dropping down to the Group of Five or FCS levels.

Best of Arkansas Sports has been tracking all of the movement this offseason and by our count, six of the scholarship transfers have yet to land at a new school.

Of the 19 who have so far joined a new team, eight will continue their careers at another Power Five program and nine will remain in the FBS, but at a Group of Five school. The other two ended up in the FCS ranks.

2022-23 Arkansas Football Scholarship Transfers

P Reid Bauer — Memphis

A former walk-on who eventually earned a scholarship, Reid Bauer beat out numerous punters brought in by multiple coaching staffs and quietly put together a very solid career with the Razorbacks. He ended his career with a 42.01-yard average, which just edged out Sam Irwin-Hill for seventh all-time in UA history.

Bauer will likely be remembered for the pair of fakes he pulled off during the nine-win 2021 season, which helped him win the Peter Mortell Holder of the Year award, but he should also be remembered as one of the most loyal Razorbacks ever to transfer out of the program.
