Former Arkansas guard Jaxson Robinson announces transfer destination
Arkansas transfer Jaxson Robinson has committed to BYU, he told On3.
“Thank you to all of the programs that reached out over the past few weeks, I appreciate all of you,” Robinson said to On3. “During the short amount of time I spent at BYU, it felt like home. I felt an immediate bond with Coach (Mark) Pope, the coaching staff, and my future teammates. I believe being a part of the Cougar family will put me in the best position to become the best player and person I can possibly be. I look forward to playing in front of Cougar Nation.”

The former four-star recruit played one season at Arkansas before entering the NCAA transfer portal in May.
“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.
During his single season with the Razorbacks, the 6-foot-6 shooting guard never found a consistent role, averaging 10.2 minutes of play per game (3.4 PPG, 1.3 RPG).

Jaxson Robinson began his career at Texas A&M, joining the Aggies as a top-50 prospect before reclassifying up to 2020. During his time in College Station, Robinson played in 14 of A&M’s 18 games, making four starts. He finished the year averaging 2.1 points and 1.1 rebounds in 9.7 minutes per game. At the conclusion of the 2020-21 season, Robinson entered the transfer portal after just one year at Texas A&M.
Robinson becomes the fourth newcomer to BYU’s 2022 recruiting class. He joins fellow transfer Rudi Williams (14.7 PPG at Coastal Carolina), to go along with highly-touted freshman Collin Chandler (four-star), as well as Braeden Moore (three-star).
It’s also important to note that Chandler will be taking a Mormon mission trip that will last two years, so Chandler will not enroll at BYU until 2024.
