Hogs’ Trey Knox putting name into transfer portal
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — With reports Arkansas is losing a tight ends coach, now we have reports a player is out, too.
Senior Trey Knox has put his name into the transfer portal, according to multiple reports online.
Knox was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2019, checking in as the No. 228 overall prospect in the country according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Ranking. Midway through the 2021 season, he made the switch to tight end.
Knox is originally from Murfreesboro (Tenn.) and attended Blackman High School plus a 3.8 student in the classroom.
After spending four seasons in Fayetteville, it could be viewed as making some sense in that he’s fulfilled every obligation to the Razorbacks on and off the field. With a year left that everybody got from the COVID stuff, he wants to go somewhere for another season and see if he can improve his grade for a shot at the NFL.
In his first season with the Razorbacks, Knox caught 21 passes for for 299 yards and two touchdowns in the opening four games. He added seven receptions for 86 yards and 1 score in his final seven games played as he battled a hip injury.
The following season, Knox’s contributions were scarce, finishing with seven catches for 70 yards. Early in 2021, Arkansas transitioned Knox to tight end, where he contributed 46 grabs for 437 yards and 6 touchdowns the last two years.
He finished the 2022 regular season third on the team with 296 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 26 catches. Knox had a pair of two-touchdown games this fall against Cincinnati and Liberty.
In late November, leading receiver Jadon Haselwood declared for the upcoming NFL Draft, and Ketron Jackson entered the transfer portal last week so the Hogs will be without three of their four leading receivers for the Liberty Bowl against Kansas State on Dec. 28.

Report says Dowell Loggains accepting OC spot at South Carolina
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas coach Sam Pittman has more than players to replace.
Tight ends coach Dowell Loggains is apparently headed to South Carolina as the offensive coordinator for Shane Beamer.
Brandon Marcello of 247Sports.com put the story out, citing a source.
Arkansas tight ends coach Dowell Loggains intends to accept the offensive coordinator position at South Carolina, a source tells @247Sports.
— Brandon Marcello (@bmarcello) December 12, 2022
Many thought Razorbacks offensive coordinator Kendal Briles would be the choice, but Carolina zeroed in on Loggains early in the process. The speculation about this move started in Arkansas over the last couple of weeks picked up some steam over the weekend.
The Gamecocks need someone who can get the ball into the hands of their playmakers, something that didn’t happen consistently.
Beamer was looking for someone with NFL experience and Loggains has that.
He has been with the Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins and New York Jets.
Loggains was offensive coordinator with the Titans, Bears, Dophins and Jets.
Now he’s got to figure out an offense that struggled on an 8-4 team.
For Loggains, that’s not a bad situation.
With defensive coordinator Barry Odom taking the head coaching position at UNLV, Pittman is going to have to add coaches along with a number of players who hit the transfer portal or left the program.
There will be more assistant coaches headed out the door. That always happens in these situations.
Who will be next?

Razorbacks stay perfect, downing Arkansas State
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas delivered when it counted once again, taking down in-state foe Arkansas State, 77-63.
And they are still undefeated.
In a competitive game, the Razorbacks’ defense stepped up in the fourth quarter, holding the Red Wolves to 0-for-7 from the field in the final stretch of the game.
The Hogs played seven players, five of which reached double figures, led by Samara Spencer’s 19 points. For the second straight season, Arkansas has defeated all four in-state opponents.
The Razorbacks got the offensive power going early thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers courtesy of Jersey Wolfenbarger and Chrissy Carr.
Arkansas State was also making shots, shooting 71% in the first half of the quarter. After two nice Erynn Barnum layups, Arkansas led 16-13 at the media timeout with 4:33 left in the opening quarter.
Out of the break, the Hogs found trouble from the field, shooting 0-for-5, but got in the bonus early and made six free throws down the stretch of the first quarter.
Maryam Dauda helped the Razorbacks dig out of their drought from the field with back-to-back layups. Arkansas finished the first 10 minutes with a slight 24-23 advantage.
Barnum opened the second quarter with a layup. The Red Wolves would then tie the game at 28 off a 3-pointer, while the Hogs hit a scoring drought for two minutes and some change.
Dauda continued to come up big for the Razorbacks, and with 3:48 left in the half, led, 34-30. The Hogs went on a 6-0 run, leading 40-33 with a minute left in the half.
A Wolfenbarger 3-pointer extended the Razorback lead to 10, their first double-digit lead of the game. At the half, Arkansas led 43-35.
Barnum quickly moved her way up to double digits with two layups to begin the third quarter.
Just a minute and a half into the second half, the Hogs had the 47-35 edge. Wolfenbarger continued to find her groove and came up with a layup to extend her season-high to 12 points.
The Razorbacks outscored the Red Wolves 15-8 in the first seven minutes of the third quarter, but Arkansas State would not go away, as Arkansas had a slight 60-51 advantage going into the fourth quarter of play.
Carr delivered a big 3-pointer to extend the Razorbacks’ lead back up to 10 to begin the fourth quarter, but the Red Wolves started to catch fire from 3-point and cut the lead to six, 65-59, with 7:07 remaining in the game.
Samara Spencer logged two big 3-pointers to extend the lead back to 12, 73-61, with 3:21 left in the game, and that’s when the Razorbacks started to really pull away. Arkansas State shot 0-for-7 from the field and hit a scoring drought for the those final three minutes, as the Hogs sailed away with 77-63 win.
