Not many college athletes get seven years to play their favorite sport. Not many college athletes have had the wild career of Dorian Gerald, either.
The Arkansas defensive end removed his name from the transfer portal last week, ensuring his seventh season of college football will be with the Razorbacks. Gerald had entered the portal in late April.
The 2022 season will be Gerald’s fifth at Arkansas. He was the No. 1 junior-college defensive end recruit in the country when he arrived to Fayetteville in 2018. But in those four years since, he’s really only managed about a season-and-a-half. For his Arkansas career, Gerald has played in just 15 games.
Gerald has had two leg injuries and a neck injury limited his availability at Arkansas. But if he’s healthy, there’s reason to believe he will be in the rotation for the Razorbacks at defensive end.
Arkansas lost three starters from the defensive line in the offseason.
