After redshirting at Arkansas this past season, without seeing any time on the field, former Bentonville offensive lineman Joey Su’a has decided to enter the transfer portal.
Su’a is the 13th Razorback to enter the portal since it opened on Dec. 4.
The 6-foot-4, 346-pounder enrolled early last spring, after being a consensus 3-Star prospect. He was rated the No. 3 player in Arkansas for the Class of 2023, and the No. 22 offensive guard nationally, by Rivals.
Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman entered the offseason committed to shoring up an offensive line that proved ineffective for most of the year.
Su’a’s departure drops the Razorbacks’ offensive line scholarship total to 16, and drops the overall scholarship number to 81. That does clear the way for four more additions, from either the portal, or the high school or junior college ranks. The Razorbacks are expected to host several transfer offensive linemen in the coming days.
The early signing period for college football is Dec. 20-22, with the regular signing period to begin Feb. 7, and continue through April 1.
Devon Manuel already entered the portal on Dec. 4. Ty’Kieast Crawford has announced that he plans to be back for a super senior season. Rising senior Joshua Braun is still on the roster, and Brady Latham could opt to return for his super senior season.
Arkansas has already added 6-foot-5, 315-pound Keyshawn Blackstock, a portal find from Michigan State.
Su’a, who did not allow a sack during his senior year at Bentonville, and registered 56 pancake blocks, chose Arkansas over BYU, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan State, Oregon and others.
