Two days after Arkansas defensive back Myles Slusher was officially no longer with the Razorbacks program, he is bound for the transfer portal.
Slusher, who started six games for Arkansas at nickel this season, did not make the trip to Missouri for the Razorbacks’ final game of the season. Arkansas staff members said 30 minutes before kickoff that Slusher had quit the team. Slusher denied quitting via Twitter before deleting the tweet.
Both he and Arkansas understood he would no longer be with the program going forward, either way, and on Sunday afternoon, Slusher took back to social media to announce his entering the portal.
First, I Would Like To Thank The University Of Arkansas For Everything. Helped Me Learn Myself More Than Anything, Especially Overcoming Adversity. I Want To Thank Coach Odom For Believing In Me. With That Being Said, I Will Be Entering The Transfer Portal To Find A New Home.

Slusher was arrested with teammate Anthony Brown earlier in November after an altercation with police following the team’s loss to Liberty. Police body-cam footage showed Brown being violently moved from the street where he and others were gathered around 2 a.m. Slusher allegedly made an effort to help Brown and was arrested, as well.
Arkansas coach Sam Pittman announced a one-game suspension for both players the two days later. Slusher returned for the Razorbacks’ penultimate game against Ole Miss, but Pittman said the day after the junior told him he would no longer be with the team.
Slusher is the sixth player to enter the portal since August. Others are expected to announce before January.
