FAYETTEVILLE -- Tight end Will Gragg has decided to leave Arkansas as a graduate transfer, he confirmed with Hawgs247 on Friday.

The Pine Bluff, Ark., native and former four-star recruit will have two years of eligibility remaining. He was with the Razorbacks for three years, redshirting in 2015 and playing sparingly over the last two seasons.

Gragg did not appear in a game as a redshirt freshman in 2016 and caught five passes for 61 yards while playing in 10 games as a redshirt sophomore last season. With five other scholarship tight ends on the roster, Gragg struggled to climb the depth chart this spring.

He was a part of Arkansas' 2015 signing class that featured three of the top 17 tight ends in the country, joining Cheyenne O'Grady and Austin Cantrell. With a .9196 grade in the 247Sports Composite, Gragg was the No. 7 tight end and No. 198 overall recruit in his class.

Not only was he a highly touted recruit, but Gragg's commitment came with fanfare because he is the younger brother of former Arkansas tight end Chris Gragg, who was a seventh-round NFL Draft pick in 2013 after a successful career with the Razorbacks.

Head coach Chad Morris said Wednesday that he expects some attrition to occur over the next month as the team goes through exit interviews and Gragg is the first to announce his intention to transfer.
