Arkansas has seen its roster reduced by two players. Senior wide receiver Eric Hawkins is going to be a senior transfer who goes to a program where he will have immediate eligibility and see more playing time. Also, sophomore cornerback Willie Sykes is leaving the program.

Eric Hawkins is a wide receiver and kick returner.

Hawkins came to Arkansas from Longview (Texas) High School. He also participated in track at various times as well. In 2015, Hawkins returned 10 kickoffs for 223 yards, but didn't catch any passes. He caught three passes for 32 yards as a redshirt freshman in 2013, but hasn't been used much in the passing game since that time.

Sykes played safety as a true freshman in 2015, but was moved to cornerback in the spring. He had nine tackles this past season playing in 12 games.
