Number of Arkansas Razorback Departing Start to Pile Up

Pittman to begin meeting with remaining players about transfer portal status over next week

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Now that the final seconds have ticked away in the Razorbacks' regular season, portal watching has begun. 

The second player to officially announce he will hit the transfer portal was defensive back Chase Lowery. The Frisco High School product let it be known Thanksgiving night that he intended to leave the program on Twitter.

Lowery, who was considered a high 3-star coming out of high school, chose Arkansas over Texas Tech, Purdue, Michigan St. and Oregon State. 

Little Rock's James Jointer also announced he intended to leave a crowded running back room earlier in the week.

Two other Razorbacks have already left the program. Wide receiver Warren Thompson quit the team just over a week ago, and earlier this morning social media began buzzing that Myles Slusher was in Tulsa instead of Columbia with the team.

I take it Myles Slusher is no longer with the team given the fact he’s in Tulsa the night before the game according to his IG post… pic.twitter.com/G7M12GeHzm

Early in the game, word came down from the university that Slusher had quit the team. However, Slusher disputed the report almost instantly.

Pittman later confirmed the university stance that Slusher quit when he told the media he met with Slusher on Sunday and was suprised to hear the defensive back had decided to forego the final game of the season and leave the team.

While this might be the most high profile departure in light of the controversy surrounding it and its possible ties to the Fayetteville Police Department, it's highly unlikely it will be the last.

Current Razorbacks will have between Dec. 5 and Jan. 18 to put their name in the transfer portal. Pittman plans to meet with players over the next week, but players can announce their intent without talking to the coaches if they choose.
