Arkansas redshirt freshman defensive tackle Billy Ferrell has entered his name into the transfer portal and will seek a new destination to finish out his college career.

Farrell, 6-3, 343, was a well-regarded recruit who came to Arkansas in the Class of 2018 but sat out all of last season with a stress fracture. According to the industry generated 247Sports Composite Ranking, Farrell was the No. 523 overall recruit in the nation, the No. 37 defensive tackle prospect and the No. 5 overall prospect in the state of Arkansas in 2018. If nothing else changes between now and August and all the incoming recruits enroll, Farrell's departure will bring Arkansas' total scholarship total all the way down to 79. The NCAA allows 85 players to be on scholarship. Farrell's injury history made it difficult to judge whether he was or was not with the team, but there have been rumors circulating that he would not return.

As a senior at Fordyce, he made 63 tackles, with 8 for a loss. He forced four fumbles and had two fumble recoveries. He also had 12 kick returns for 419 yards and added 136 yards rushing and three touchdowns on the ground. He was recruited by the former Arkansas coaching staff but was not offered a scholarship. He picked one up from the new staff not long after Morris arrived and also reported an offer from Alabama.

Note, running back T.J. Hammonds is not currently with the team, but sources indicate there is a chance he could return. Morris announced that Hammonds is not currently with the team two weeks ago during a press conference.
