Arkansas redshirt junior-to-be defensive end Alexy Jean-Baptiste is transferring from the University of Arkansas. His name appeared in the transfer portal on Friday.

Jean-Baptiste, 6-2, 235, came to Arkansas out of Pompano Beach (Fla.) Coconut Creek High School as part of the Class of 2016 and was recruited as a linebacker. The industry generated 247Sports Composite Ranking tabbed him as the No. 693 overall recruit in the nation in 2016, the No. 46 outside linebacker and the No. 96 overall recruit in the state of Florida, though individually 247Sports had him as the No. 1,235 recruit and No. 91 OLB.

Jean-Baptiste has seen numerous injuries in his career, and this season he saw action in just one game and had an assisted tackle that went for a 2-yard loss. He worked as the backup outside linebacker as a redshirt freshman-to-be in the spring of 2017 before breaking his foot and missing the entire season.

He is the fourth player out of that class, which is comprised mostly of redshirt juniors and seniors heading into 2019, to leave the program before his eligibility was expired, though that could change depending on the status of Dee Walker following an arrest earlier this month. Walker has been indefinitely suspended. McTelvin Agim, Devwah Whaley, Austin Capps, T.J. Hammonds, Briston Guidry, Jordan Jones, Jonathan Marshall, De Walker, Cole Kelley and Grayson Gunter are other notables from that recruiting class who have made regular contributions during their careers at Arkansas.

So far since the last week of the 2018 season, five other players have announced their intent to transfer in sophomore cornerback Chevin Calloway, sophomore nickel back Derrick Munson, redshirt freshman running back Maleek Williams and redshirt sophomore quarterback Cole Kelley. During the season, senior wide receiver Jonathan Nance announced his plan to take a redshirt after four games and become a graduate transfer (now announced to Missouri). Sophomore linebacker Kyrei Fisher took the same route as Nance (aside from the Missouri part), and junior cornerback Nate Dalton left the team after being suspended midseason by Morris. Additionally, sophomore offensive lineman Dylan Hays (back injury) announced his early retirement from football midway through the season, and redshirt junior offensive lineman Jalen Merrick did the same prior to the start of the season (headaches).
