SMU offers Arkansas OL transfer Andrew Chamblee
SMU offered Arkansas offensive line transfer Andrew Chamblee, he reported on Twitter on Tuesday. Maryland and Kansas State offered as well.
SMU made an in-home visit with him on Tuesday, the first day the NCAA Transfer Portal window opened. He’s also visiting UCLA on April 17th and Kansas State on April 20th.
Chamblee spent the past two seasons with the Razorbacks. He redshirted in his first year before his redshirt freshman season this past year. In 2023, he appeared in every game for the ‘Hogs, including eight starts. For his efforts, he earned a spot on the All-SEC Freshman Team.
However, earlier this month, it was shared that Chamblee was no longer part of Arkansas’ program. The original report suggested that he had “lost the love for the game” but would not be transferring as he planned to continue his life as a student in Fayetteville.

Now, later in the same month, that no longer appears to be the case for Chamblee.
Chamblee played high school football at Maumelle in Arkansas. He was a four-star prospect there as the No. 336 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He rated as the No. 16 OT in the class and the No. 2 player in the state behind only WR Isaiah Sategna.
Andrew Chamblee played 405 snaps, which was the sixth most on the Razorbacks’ offensive line. He had a 40.9 pass-blocking grade, according to Pro Football Focus, and a 55.9 run-blocking grade.
SMU lost four players to the portal during the winter window, including offensive tackle Marcus Bryant. Adding Chamblee would fill a position of need for the Mustangs.
