Not even 24 hours after Ole Miss knocked off Oklahoma to win their first-ever College World Series title, wild rumors regarding the Transfer Portal began to circulate.
Three Razorbacks have announced their intentions to pursue other opportunities outside of Arkansas Baseball, with one of those announcing his decision Monday afternoon.
However, a wild rumor regarding a fourth member of Arkansas’ special season that concluded in the College World Series semi-finals began circulating on social media Sunday, a rumor that has since been put to rest.

But, Stovall ended those rumors by joining the “Out of Bounds” radio show on 103.7 the Buzz in Little Rock on Monday afternoon, where he reaffirmed his commitment to the program.
