Sophomore TJ Metcalf and freshman Tevis Metcalf have opted to enter the transfer portal Monday as the winter window opened. TJ was a bright spot in a struggling secondary unit with 57 tackles, three interceptions and seven pass breakups.

The elder Metcalf was a 4-star prospect according to Rivals and rated the No. 33 safety nationally. He committed to Arkansas over offers from Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Mississippi State, Missouri, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Penn State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and many others.

Tevis played primarily on special teams for the Razorbacks finishing the season after signing with the program over offers from Auburn, Georgia Tech and Colorado. He was a 3-star prospect out of high school, No. 37 overall athlete in Alabama and No. 84 among safeties in the 2024 class.
