TRANSFER TRACKER: Player movements in Arkansas baseball in 2024

It is expected to be another busy offseason for the Arkansas baseball team.

The Razorbacks will have to replace several departing players with players from other programs and it would not be a surprise if Arkansas lost several players.

We will update this page throughout the offseason to keep you informed of the latest Razorbacks personnel changes.
