Brandon Martin will not be on the Arkansas roster due to academic issues.
Coach Chad Morris addressed the issue with Arkansas media after doing the big room at SEC Media Days in Atlanta on Tuesday.
“Right now, where he is today, he’s not a part of our roster,” Morris told the much smaller group of reporters. “Academic issues. Don’t know if he will become part of our roster again. I don’t know that at this point. And that’s where we are with Brandon.”
One media report a couple of weeks ago had Martin planning to rejoin the team in January, but Morris dismissed that.
“I do not see that happening right now,” Morris said.
Junior college signees Rakeem Boyd and Dorian Gerald are expected to join the Razorbacks soon, according to Morris.
He also addressed the DUI arrest of wide receiver Michael Woods over the weekend in Fayetteville.
“Actions of a few impact many and his actions impacted a lot of people,” Morris said. “With that, there’s an accountability and consequences for every decision that’s made, good and bad.
“We’ll build on that and move forward and at the right time, we’ll gather all the information and put the final synopsis out there.”
The Hogs will officially report to fall camp August 2 and begin practices the next day.
