(UPDATE: This story has been updated to reflect the transfer of Jake Hall.)

Arkansas received some good news Thursday afternoon when defensive back Kevin Richardson announced he had been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA.

That news was followed by HawgBeat learning that defensive lineman Jake Hall has decided to become a graduate transfer and will play his final year at SMU.

Those two things combined to put Arkansas right at 85 scholarships, which is the number the NCAA allows at the FBS level.

It has taken some work just to reach this point, as nine players have now left the program since the end of the 2017 season:

-Will Gragg (graduate transfer)

-Jake Hall (graduate transfer - SMU)

-Cole Hedlund (graduate transfer - North Texas)

-Jake Heinrich (retired - medical)

-Korey Hernandez (transfer)

-Jack Kraus (graduated)

-Reid Miller (graduate transfer)

-Josh Paul (transfer)

-Zach Rogers (graduated)

As things currently stand, no other players have to leave the program this offseason. If Arkansas were to add a transfer, however, that would change.
