Missouri transfer wide receiver Courtney Crutchfield has committed to Arkansas. Crutchfield is heading back to his home state after spending one season with the Tigers. A big pickup for head coach Sam Pittman, adding a receiver with a ton of potential.

Crutchfield played high school football at Pine Bluff (AR), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 75 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Arkansas was in consideration during his high school recruitment but ultimately fell short. Auburn and LSU were in the running too but Mizzou pulled out the big-time win. But in today’s modern college football, things can change in a snap of the fingers.

Just two appearances took place for Crutchfield this season, playing in Missouri’s nonconference games against Murray State and UMass. A redshirt season could have been used to preserve a year of eligibility. If it was, Crutchfield will have four seasons to play four.

Arkansas has been hit pretty hard by the portal this offseason, especially from other SEC opponents. Stealing one from a rival is certainly nice as well. Pittman and offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino will now have a young player, hopefully ready to contribute instantly.

Arkansas lands transfer portal commitment from UCF offensive lineman

Former UCF offensive lineman Caden Kitler has committed to transfer to Arkansas, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. The 6-foot-2, 290-pound Kitler has two years of collegiate eligibility remaining.

Kitler brings a wealth of starting experience to a reshuffled Razorbacks offensive line after starting 11 games this past season at center for the Knights. Kitler has started 13 of the 17 games he participated in over the past two seasons with UCF.

Per the latest in On3’s 2025 Top Transfer Portal Players, Kitler is the No. 21 interior lineman and No. 280 overall transfer.
