Arkansas safety TJ Metcalf enters NCAA Transfer Portal

In addition to Josh Braun, Arkansas also lost a safety to the transfer portal on Monday. Razorbacks safety TJ Metcalf has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. He spent two seasons at Arkansas, amassing 24 appearances and 11 starts.

All 11 of Metcalf’s starts came this season. He finished the regular season with 57 tackles, 10 pass deflections, one tackle for loss and three interceptions. Metcalf’s three interceptions were tied for the third-most in the SEC this season.

Metcalf’s best game of the season was in Arkansas’ 24-14 win over Auburn. In the victory, he played a role in four of the Hogs’ five takeaways with two interceptions, a forced fumble and a pass breakup that led to Doneiko Slaughter’s interception.

With the performance, Metcalf was the first Arkansas defender with at least two interceptions, two pass breakups and one forced fumble in a game since defensive back Kenoy Kennedy accomplished the feat against South Carolina in 1999.
