The Arkansas Razorbacks land a big addition to the receiver room

On By Littum

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Missouri Tigers true freshman wide receiver and Pine Bluff native Courtney Crutchfield will transfer to Arkansas, according to the Razorbacks’ X account.

Crutchfield resigned from Arkansas shortly before kickoff against Florida last season, which the Razorbacks won 39-36 and also marked the team’s first-ever victory in Gainesville, Florida. He kept his options open until the early National Signing Day last December, but ultimately chose Battle Line rival Missouri over offers from Auburn, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas State, LSU, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas A&M.

The 6-0, 188-pound wideout signed with the Tigers as the No. 43 overall view in the 2024 class, no. 10 in its position and no. 2 plays in the state of Arkansas, according to 247sports rankings. Crutchfield played several sports during his high school career, with the Zebras posting 1,477 yards and 22 touchdowns during his junior and senior years on the gridiron, a 6-foot-3 high jump and a nearly 23-foot long jump for the track team.

He finished his freshman season with the Tigers without recording any stats for the Tigers, who finished 2024 with a 9–3 overall record and a 5–3 mark in SEC play. Arkansas is looking to add more receivers to the transfer window this offseason, as Andrew Armstrong has entered the NFL Draft, while Isaiah Sategna, Davion Dozier and Jaedon Wilson have entered the transfer window.

Arkansas signed Charlotte transfer receiver O’Mega Blake on Tuesday to join Kam Shanks (UAB) and Rayen Sharpe (Fresno State), who have proven to be impressive additions from the transfer portal, respectively. Crutchfield gives coach Sam Pittman’s team another big body and athletic receiver with plenty of potential to replace Armstrong, who led the SEC in receiving this fall.
