Arkansas loses wide receiver to transfer portal

Jaquayln Crawford is on the move after one season at Arkansas.

The wide receiver room at Arkansas is now lighter after a member of the unit has announced their intent to enter the transfer portal.

[autotag]Jaquayln Crawford[/autotag], who spent one season at Arkansas after signing with Oklahoma out of high school, is on the move again according to a report from Mason Chaote of HawgBeat.com.

Crawford signed with Oklahoma as a four-star athlete from Rockdale High School in Texas. He was the No. 8 athlete from the 2018 recruiting class, and the No. 17 prospect from the state of Texas.

Crawford transferred to Arkansas prior to the 2021 season from Oklahoma. He played in three games for the Sooners in two seasons, not recording a catch. During his only season at Arkansas, he caught three passes for 27 total yards. His longest reception was for 19 yards against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on October 23.

Defensive back Jaquayln Crawford has entered the transfer portal, per report

As Alex Grinch moves towards getting his own defenders to Oklahoma, transfers are inevitable and that number is rising.

Oklahoma has lost another defender to the transfer portal.

Redshirt freshman Jaquayln Crawford—who started out his career in Norman, Oklahoma, as a receiver—has entered the transfer portal, according to a report from The Athletic’s Jason Kersey.

Crawford was a highly touted athlete out of Rockdale, Texas, that had the top-end speed and makeup of productive Z-receiver in Lincoln Riley’s offense. The 4-star chose Oklahoma over the likes of Texas, Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Georgia, Florida and Auburn.

Earlier this season, Crawford made the move from offense to defense to help build depth for Alex Grinch in the secondary. He has played in two career games, making his lone appearance this season in the South Dakota game.

This is the fourth Oklahoma defender to enter the transfer portal this season. Crawford followed defensive backs Starrland Baldwin, Miguel Edwards and linebacker Jonathan Perkins. All four of those players were in their first or second years at Oklahoma.

Based off the optics, defensive coordinator Alex Grinch is wasting no time finding room to bring in his own guys that fit and can play his style of defense.
