After [autotag]Jaqualyn Crawford[/autotag] announced that he will enter the transfer portal, it left another open scholarship for the Razorback football team.
The Razorbacks must hand out one more scholarship for early enrollees to play. 81 players are currently on scholarship for the 2022 season.
[autotag]Sam Pittman[/autotag] has no direct date to hand out that 85th scholarship. Arkansas didn’t hand out scholarships until the end of the 2021 season.
“I think the walk-ons has taken a new life to it because there’s academic money that we can help them with that we weren’t able to before,” Pittman said in 2019.
“I think we can be a little more selective with our walk-ons right now because it’s not going to cost near the money, at least 3-6,000 a year less than it would cost normally. So we’re being a little more selective. We obviously want to go inside out.”
[autotag]Hudson Clark[/autotag] earned a scholarship as a walk-on in 2020 and has turned into one of the best defensive players on the Razorbacks roster.
The transfer portal is also an option, but it comes with technicalities that don’t offer many incentives for the 2022 season. Some names to look out for as walk-ons to earn a scholarship is quarterbacks Kade Renfro and Cade Fortin.
