Arkansas sophomore tight end Luke Hasz will transfer from the program, he announced Friday morning.
A 6-foot-3, 241-pound Oklahoma native, Hasz was a highly-touted four-star prospect out of Bixby High School and chose the Hogs over Alabama, Florida State, LSU, Miami, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Texas and others.
Hasz was named to the John Mackey Award Watch List prior to the 2024 season, in which he caught 26 passes for 324 yards and four touchdowns across 12 games. In his injury-shortened 2023 freshman campaign, Hasz made 16 grabs for 253 yards and three scores in just five games.
The pass-catcher is the seventh Hog to officially announce his intentions of entering the transfer portal, joining players like quarterback Malachi Singleton, wide receiver Isaiah Sategna and others. Former tight ends Ty Washington and Var’keyes Gumms, who were dismissed from the team during the season, will also enter the portal.
Arkansas will now await its bowl destination, which will be revealed Sunday, Dec. 8.
