University of Arkansas outside hitter Taylor Head will play her final year of eligibility for Florida State, former Razorback Coach and current Seminoles Coach Chris Poole confirmed Saturday.

“Already first thing I told Taylor was that we have something in common,” Poole said in a text message. “We both love the Hogs. She is a good player. Not as big as [other players on] our team, but she will make all our big kids better with her leadership and experience.”

The 5-10 Head was named third-team American Volleyball Coaches’ Association All-American and was a key piece in one of the best seasons in program history. 

Arkansas advanced to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament before losing to Nebraska on its home floor. The Razorbacks (28-6) finished eighth in the final AVCA coaches’ poll.

She was second on the team in kills (494) and digs (406). Head finished the season with a spot in the program’s top five in career kills at 1,537, and is just shy of the program career top five in digs with 1,272, good for sixth place. 

She led the team with 22 double-doubles, the most for any Razorback since 1999. She had 60 in her career, which ranks second in program history.

She also earned All-Southeastern Conference honors and All-South Region for the third time this season.

Poole said he has followed Head since eighth grade, had a scholarship open late and made the offer.

Autopsies rule Arkansas mothers death a suicide; twin children’s deaths homicides


According to our partners at 40/29 News, autopsies show that Charity Beallis died by suicide, and her six-year-old twin children died by homicide.

Beallis and the children were found on December 3, 2025, in their home in Bonanza. All three had gunshot wounds.

Records show that Beallis and her husband were in the process of divorcing when the murders happened. 40/29 reports that Beallis’ son has asked that their divorce be considered final, while her husband, Randall Beallis, has asked the court to dismiss the divorce proceedings.

The news release listed the following evidence:

— An examination of the transcripts of the deposition of Mrs. Beallis in the divorce/custody case and the final hearing on the case on 12-2-2025, reveal that she wished to be reconciled to her estranged husband, which did not happen. Mrs. Beallis, after being represented by four different attorneys, represented herself in the contested divorce/custody hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, Mrs. Beallis was ordered to begin joint custody of her children with her estranged husband.

–Mrs. Beallis’ estranged husband was a driver of a Tesla electric vehicle at that time. Tesla has compiled location data on Tesla vehicles, and according to the information provided by Tesla, Mrs. Beallis’ estranged husband’s vehicle was not near the residence in Bonanza on the night in question. Also, the estranged husband’s phones did not “ping” any of the cell towers proximately related to Ms. Beallis’ location.

–Information from the home security alarm company shows the alarm was deactivated by Mrs. Beallis by her phone (she had exclusive access to the security system) at around 10 pm on the night in question. Even though deactivated, the alarm company was able to provide information showing no doors or windows to the home were opened during that time. When law enforcement arrived after 9:30 am on 12-3-2025, there were no doors or windows open, and they had to use a key to enter the home. SCSO rigorously tested the functioning of each door and window and found them to be operating properly.

The court released an order on Wednesday stating that it does not have jurisdiction to rule on those motions regarding the divorce. Beallis’ body has been released to her son, while the children are with Randall Beallis.
