Report: Arkansas offensive lineman Josh Braun withdraws from NCAA transfer portal

Earlier on Friday, Arkansas offensive lineman Josh Braun entered the transfer portal. Braun has apparently had a change of heart.

The multi-year starter has withdrawn from the transfer portal, according to Chris Hummer. That is potentially huge news for the Razorbacks for the 2025 season as Braun started all 12 games this season for the Razorbacks.

Josh Bruan is a former four-star recruit who signed with Florida out of high school. He was ranked as the No. 27 offensive tackle in the country coming out of high school, per the On3 Industry rankings.

Braun entered the transfer portal for the first time in Nov. of 2022 and ended up committing to Arkansas the next month.

The Florida native started all 12 games for Arkansas in 2023, earning second-team All-SEC honors. He had another excellent year in 2024, starting all 12 games for the Razorbacks, before announcing that he is entering the transfer portal once again. However, he now could be staying at Arkansas after all.

Arkansas TE Luke Hasz planning to enter NCAA transfer portal

While it seems that Arkansas could get back Josh Braun, Razorbacks starting tight end Luke Hasz announced on Friday that he is planning to enter the transfer portal.

The sophomore caught 26 passes for 324 yards and four touchdowns in 2024, finishing third on the team in receptions and leading the Razorbacks in touchdown catches.

Hasz made his announcement on Twitter, sharing that: “Through prayer and conversations with my fiancé, parents and God, I have decided to enter the transfer portal. I can not [sic] thank Coach Pittman and Coach Turner enough. Arkansas will forever hold a place in my heart!”

Hasz signed with Arkansas as a four-star prospect and the No. 12 tight end in the country in the class of 2023, per the On3 Industry rankings.

The Oklahoma native made an immediate impact for Arkansas, catching 16 passes for 253 yards and three touchdowns in five games, before suffering a season-ending injury.

He had another excellent year in 2024 but is now entering the transfer portal and will play the 2025 season elsewhere.
