Arkansas RB Rashod Dubinion enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Arkansas running back Rashod Dubinion has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned. Dubinion has one year of eligibility remaining.

Dubinion has been a contributor all three years he’s played at Arkansas. He was slowed in 2024 by injuries, playing in just eight games.

For his college career, he appeared in 31 games, making seven starts and carrying 209 times for 888 yards and eight touchdowns. He also caught 42 passes for 315 yards and two scores in his career to date.

Dubinion was a three-star prospect in the 2022 signing class. He was the No. 486 overall recruit in the class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, playing at Cedar Grove (Ga.) High School.

Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman called out tampering

The NCAA Transfer Portal has been open just over a week and, as usual, it’s already dominating the headlines.

Marshall recently opted out of participating in the Independence Bowl vs. Army, directly citing the nearly 30 Thundering Herd players that have entered the portal since it opened Dec. 9.

But, for bigger programs like those in the SEC, what’s more concerning than roster implications is the rampant tampering allegedly going on behind the scenes, including much of it from inside the house.

“It’s a crazy world out there as far as tampering and all that,” Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman said last week. “I don’t know if many guys have gotten in trouble for that and I don’t see it happening.”

So far in the 2025 cycle, Arkansas has lost 26 players to the transfer portal and added six transfers to its class, including former Texas A&M tight end Jaden Platt earlier Tuesday. Among the Razorbacks’ biggest transfer losses include defensive back brothers TJ and Tevis Metcalf (Michigan), pass rusher Brad Spence (Texas), offensive linemen Josh Braun (Kentucky) and Patrick Kutas (Ole Miss). In fact, of the eight Arkansas players to commit to other schools out of the portal, five pledged to SEC rivals.

“It’s hard. The bottom line is, guys, is everyone of these kids that come in here – not everyone, … but most of them – they know where they’re going and how much they’re going to get paid,” Pittman added. “So somebody had to talk to them, you know. That’s very, very difficult.

“But I think with the lay of the land right now, it’s agents doing the conversations and there’s no certification, you don’t have to be a certified agent or anything like that. An agent can be anybody. I think some certification there might help us as well.”
