Another Arkansas Offensive Lineman Leaves, Hitting Portal
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas is up to 20 players that have announced their intention to enter the transfer portal, which officially opened Monday. Right tackle Ty’Kieast Crawford announced his intentions to enter the portal on X.
“I’d like to thank Sam Pittman and the rest of the coaching staff for all of the support over the years,” Crawford said in the statement. “Thank you to the Razorback fanbase for an amazing 3 years at this university, with that being said with 1 year of eligibity left, I will be placting my name within the transfer portal.”
A former consensus four-star prospect and ranked the 19th-best offensive tackle in the country in his class by 247Sports, Crawford only saw action in the 70-0 season-opening win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff and did not play in any other games.
He only played 10 snaps after the result of the game was no longer in question. Across four seasons, after transferring in from Charlotte for the 2021 season, he appeared in 33 games and made six starts.
Crawford joins fellow offensive linemen Patrick Kutas and Josh Braun to enter the portal following the conclusion of the regular season. Arkansas will face Texas Tech in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl 6 p.m. Dec. 27.

Arkansas basketball guard Karter Knox probable to face South Carolina
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas basketball sophomore Karter Knox is probable to play against South Carolina, according to the SEC Availability Report released on Tuesday, Jan. 13.
John Calipari said Knox suffered a hip pointer injury during the No. 17 Razorbacks (12-4, 2-1 SEC) 95-73 loss to Auburn over the weekend. Arkansas returns to action against the Gamecocks on Wednesday, Jan. 14.
Calipari said he didn’t know the exact moment when Knox was hurt against Auburn, but it occurred during the first period as Knox did not play after halftime. He finished the night with zero points in seven minutes.
During his weekly radio show on Monday, Jan. 12, Calipari confirmed Knox had not practiced since the loss to Auburn.
This is not the first time Knox has dealt with an injury this season. He missed the opening game of the year with a toe sprain. The second-year guard is averaging 8.6 points and five rebounds while shooting a team-best 43.5% from 3-point range.
If Knox can play, he would get the chance to go against his older brother for the first time in their respective college careers. Kobe Knox is a redshirt senior at South Carolina after transferring from South Florida before the season.
If something changes before tipoff and Karter is sidelined, one of Billy Richmond III or Meleek Thomas will start against the Gamecocks.
Richmond would be a seamless replacement on the defensive end, although he is not as good of an outside shooter. Richmond is averaging 8.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
Thomas would be the aggressive pick on offense. The five-star freshman is Arkansas’ second-leading scorer with 15.4 points per game.
The biggest question is whether Calipari would go deeper into his bench to replace Knox in Arkansas’ eight-man rotation. Isaiah Sealy has been the Hogs’ ninth man this season, but he’s only averaging 8.9 minutes and has appeared in four games since the beginning of December.
