Arkansas football had a decent showing in the 2024 NFL Draft, but several more Razorbacks players are signing undrafted free agent deals. Here are the UDFAs:
Arkansas football had a disappointing NFL Draft, with only two Razorbacks selected through the three-day event. Cam Little and Beaux Limmer both went in the sixth round.
This marks the second straight year for Arkansas having two draft picks. The Hogs went 4-8 in 2023 and saw plenty of attrition on the roster either through the portal or with an end in college eligibility.

However, the Hogs should have a number of players sign with NFL teams as undrafted free agents. Here’s a look at all of the post-draft movement for Arkansas.
Arkansas undrafted free agents
Dwight McGlothern, cornerback, Minnesota Vikings
A great man-to-man corner with ball skills, McGlothern is able to make plays down the field and beat opposing wide receivers at the line of scrimmage. He’s also a good zone cornerback with terrific instincts that mesh with his ability to read the quarterback.
Stuttgart, circa 1910: Mae and Ted Barnhart posed with their dog, the only one who seemed happy for the camera. Theodore Barnhart, born 1906, grew up to serve in the Navy during World War II, dying in 1952. Ted’s sister, Mae, born 1903 and passing in 1994, grew up to marry Charles Henry Dobbs.

Kentucky had a need at wide receiver entering the only transfer portal window of the offseason. The Wildcats addressed the position again on Day 10. UK has added a second transfer to the room. This is a familiar name to those who follow recruiting.
Arkansas transfer Ja’Kayden Ferguson committed to the Wildcats after his visit to Lexington over the weekend. The wide receiver was a former UK commit who flipped to the Hogs during the 2025 recruiting cycle. Now Ferguson has flipped back to the Big Blue.
Ja’Kayden Ferguson was a three-star recruit out of Metro Houston who picked Kentucky following a June official visit ahead of the 2024 season. However, Ferguson decided to open up his recruitment five months later and flipped to Arkansas. The 6-foot-2 receiver appeared in six games for the Razorbacks as a true freshman and burned his redshirt. Ferguson played just 20 offensive snaps.
The SEC transfer becomes the eighth current full-time scholarship player in Kentucky’s current wide receivers room. Some more additions are expected.
