Over the past year, 20 players have left the Arkansas football program for various reasons, from injuries to transferring to simply moving on with life. To get to the 29 total Arkansas wants to bring in for the 2019 recruiting class, eight more players will have to go off scholarship before all the incoming recruits arrive.

To keep things simple, until it is announced that cornerback Chevin Calloway is officially not returning to the team, he is going to be counted in the total. Thus, that leaves Arkansas with 64 scholarship players currently and 24 committed recruits. Arkansas will sign the full 25 and may count four additional players back to the last class. Here’s a more in-depth look at Arkansas’ Scholarship Distribution Chart.

Arkansas has really been hit hard on the offensive line with Zach Rogers giving up football a year early. He was a center, and the Hogs struggled at center all year. Jake Heinrich, Jalen Merrick and Dylan Hays all gave up football due to injuries this year.

Four receivers left the team, all in different manners. Kofi Boateng's knee never got right and he took a medical hardship. Maleek Barkley transferred down a level to Montana State after last season. Brandon Martin fell victim to academic issues and won't return to the team. Jonathan Nance opted to redshirt after four games as a senior and take the graduate transfer route. Jarrod Barnes made his intentions known that he would be transferring over halfway into the season.

Three Razorback tight ends left before their eligibility was up. Jack Kraus and Austin Cantrell, who is leaving now that the season is over, both moved on with life. Will Gragg transferred to Pitt.

Jake Hall wouldn't have any eligibility left moving forward but would have been able to play at Arkansas last year had he not left for SMU. He is the only defensive lineman who has left the program early.

Linebacker Josh Paul left before Chad Morris ever got to Arkansas, and fellow linebacker Kyrei Fisher announced his plan to transfer after four games this season. Nickel back Derrick Munson announced his plan to transfer with one game remaining.

At defensive back, Reid Miller and Korey Hernandez announced their plans to transfer after spring drills. Nate Dalton was suspended for a week after an unsportsmanlike penalty against Tulsa and later left the team.

Kicker Cole Hedlund made up his mind to transfer last December.

Note, none of these players declared for the NFL Draft.
