Randy Ramsey is no longer a walk-on at Arkansas.

It''s no secret that Arkansas needs linebackers and it appears a familiar name is set to rejoin the team. Randy Ramsey said Friday morning he's coming back to Arkansas.

Ramsey was heavily recruited out of Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Dillard. He left the Razorbacks at midterm last year. Bret Bielema said he had been removed from the team during the season for academic reasons. Ramsey was asked if he's back in Fayetteville now?

"No sir, but I will be soon," Ramsey said.

At Dillard, he played all over the field his senior season. He had 83 tackles, including 34 for loss and 25 sacks to go with four forced fumbles. At Arkansas in 2014, Ramsey played in three games totaling eight tackles, including five solo, and 0.5 tackle for loss.

Arkansas has searched the junior colleges for a linebacker, but Ramsey is almost certainly a much better option than any who would have been available.
