Arkansas to host Louisville DT transfer Tawfiq Thomas
The Arkansas football team is hosting multiple transfer prospects throughout the week, and HawgBeat can confirm another scheduled visitor for Wednesday in Louisville defensive tackle Tawfiq Thomas.
A 6-foot-4, 300-pound soon-to-be junior, Thomas played in 11 games at defensive tackle for the Cardinals and racked up four total tackles. During the 2022 season, Thomas totaled eight tackles in 11 games as well. Thomas will be in Fayetteville until Thursday.
According to Pro Football Focus, Thomas finished the 2023-24 season with 97 total snaps and a defensive grade of 42.5.
Thomas was a three-star prospect out of Tampa, Florida, and originally chose Louisville over offers from programs like Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa State, Miami, Michigan and others.
Arkansas is also expected to host Texas Southern defensive tackle Elinus Noel III later this week, as well as Louisville linebacker Jaylin Alderman and potentially others.
As things currently stand, the Hogs have eight open scholarships to use on possible roster additions. Follow along at The Trough premium message board to keep up with all the offseason action.
