Arkansas guard Jaxson Robinson enters transfer portal

Arkansas’ Jaxson Robinson — a 6-foot-6 shooting guard — plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal after one season with the Razorbacks, he tells On3.

“First, I would like to thank God for blessing me with the ability to play the sport that I love. To the University of Arkansas, I want to say thank you. Thank you for embracing me and making me feel like one of your own. My experience here is something I will cherish forever.

“After taking some time to speak with my family and consider what is best for my future, I have decided to enter into the transfer portal,” Robinson said in a statement to On3.

The cutoff date to enter the transfer portal was May 1st. Players are still able to transfer even after the deadline with a waiver. The NCAA rules state if a player doesn’t enter the portal by May 1, they won’t be eligible for the 2022 season, pending a waiver. Keep in mind that this is Robinson’s second time transferring, meaning he’s already taken advantage of the one-time transfer exemption. If his waiver is not approved, he will be forced to sit out a year at his new school, with the year also counting as one of his years of eligibility. However, the expectation is that Robinson will be immediately eligible.
