FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas freshman running back Braylen Russell withdrew his name from the NCAA transfer portal Tuesday, hours after he announced he would enter it.
Russell shared a since-deleted post to social media earlier in the day that stated he would enter the portal.
“This was not an easy decision for me being from the state of Arkansas,” Russell wrote in the post. “But, through much prayer, reflection and many discussions with my parents and those closest to me, I have decided to do what is best for my family and I and enter the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility remaining.
