Razorback utility player Jordan McFarland has entered his name into the transfer portal, according to a source.

This season, McFarland played in 24 games and started 15. He finished with a team-worst .238 batting average through 63 at-bats. In addition, the junior hit two homers, 12 RBI and one double. He primarily played first base at Arkansas, but graduate transfer Trevor Ezell took over the position for the Razorbacks this season.

“You still come to the park with the same attitude,” McFarland said this season. “Whether things are going bad, good, neutral. It’s not about me. it’s about the team. And as cheesy as that sounds, that’s how the game is. Just grateful to be playing today whether it’s one day or every day.”

McFarland’s most notable performance of the year came when he filled in for injured designated hitter Matt Goodheart. He went 2-for-3 with a homer on April 27 while helping the Razorbacks blow out the Tennessee Volunteers, 15-3.

“I am happy for Jordan if it happens against another team, but I was dog-cussing from the dugout,” Tennessee head coach and former Razorback assistant Tony Vitello said postgame. “You can get away with that here because it gets so loud that nobody can hear you anyway even if you are standing next to me. If a guy goes down and you get an opportunity then you need to seize it. We have had guys on our club the three or four games that have had that chance and they have jumped up and grab it and some who have freaked out because they have been giving that chance and that makes it harder to give them another one the next time around.”

In 2018, McFarland made 29 starts and appeared in 45 games. He hit for an average of .299 with three doubles, three homers and 15 RBI. Additionally, the Waterloo (Ill.) product walked 13 times and tallied a .402 slugging percentage with a .379 on-base percentage. He finished the year with a .986 fielding percentage after only committing three errors on 221 chances. In addition, he had a 10-game hitting streak going early in the season.

As a freshman in 2017, McFarland showed promising power while hitting two home runs in 19 starts. He batted for an average of .271 with seven multi-hit games. His most dramatic moment as a Razorback came during his freshman season when he belted the go-ahead two-run home run in the seventh inning at Louisiana Tech on March 1, 2017, to help the Hogs complete a nine-run comeback.

McFarland was a top 100 recruit and the No. 10 outfielder in the nation according to Perfect Game coming out of Waterloo High School. He was also rated as the No. 4-prospect out of Illinois and the No. 1 outfielder from the state. According to Prep Baseball, he was the No. 66 player in the nation and the No. 7 overall outfielder. He was drafted in the 36th round of the 2016 MLB Draft but opted to forgo professional baseball to pursue an education at Arkansas.
