Arkansas loses running back to transfer portal

Running back is a position Arkansas has plenty of depth moving forward.

The first of many dominoes has fallen.

Arkansas running back James Jointer announced via Twitter on Monday that he would be seeking a transfer when the portal opens officially on December 5.

“It was a childhood dream of mine to be an Arkansas Razorback,” Jointer said. “I’m blessed that I’ve been able to live that out, and for that, I will forever be grateful. My time at the University of Arkansas will be with me forever, and the state of Arkansas will forever have a special place in my heart. Thank you to everyone who has supported me. After careful consideration and prayer, I’ve decided to enter the transfer portal.”

Jointer was a three-star recruit from Little Rock Parkview in the Class of 2022. He was the No. 8 player in the state of Arkansas and one of two running backs Arkansas signed in the class. The other is Rashod Dubinion.

Jointer played in game this season, logging three carries for nine yards against Auburn in Week 9.
