Arkansas junior running back Rashod Dubinion will transfer from the program, he announced Tuesday.
A 5-foot-10, 201-pound Georgia native, Dubinion rushed for 335 yards and two touchdowns on 56 carries in 2024. For his career, he racked up 888 yards and eight scores on 209 attempts.
Dubinion is the second running back to enter the transfer portal from Arkansas, as he joins freshman Braylen Russell. Veteran Arkansas ball carrier Ja'Quinden Jackson will also not return next season, as he opted for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Arkansas and Texas Tech are set for a 6 p.m. CT kickoff on ESPN at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis on Dec. 27.
