FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas wide receiver Kofi Boateng is retiring from football, he announced via Twitter on Friday.

Injuries prevented the former three-star recruit from Arlington (Texas) Lamar from ever stepping on the field with the Razorbacks.

He suffered a torn ACL before his freshman season in 2016 and then wore a green no-contact jersey throughout spring practice with an undisclosed this year.

"In the game of football, you never know when it's your time to walk away or how you will walk away from the game," Boateng wrote. "After battling through two separate knee injuries, I have decided that it will be in my best interest to walk away from the game."

Boateng is the 10th player to leave Arkansas' football program since the end of the 2017 season and the second to retire for medical reasons, joining offensive lineman Jake Heinrich.

Here is a list of the other eight players:

-Will Gragg (graduate transfer - Pittsburgh)

-Jake Hall (graduate transfer - SMU)

-Cole Hedlund (graduate transfer - North Texas)

-Korey Hernandez (transfer)

-Jack Kraus (graduated)

-Reid Miller (graduate transfer - Montana)

-Josh Paul (transfer)

-Zach Rogers (graduated)

Arkansas is now at 84 scholarships, which is one shy of the NCAA limit. How the Razorbacks fill that spot remains to be seen. They could bring in a transfer, award it to a walk-on (such as linebacker Grant Morgan) or hold it for the 2019 signing class.
