FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas freshman guard Keyshawn Embery-Simpson has entered the transfer portal, a team spokesperson confirmed to WholeHogSports.
The news comes two days after Mike Anderson was dismissed as Arkansas' coach after eight seasons. He is the first current player to explore transfer options since Anderson's firing.
A four-star recruit by 247Sports and Rivals out of Midwest City High School in Oklahoma and IMG Academy (Fla.), Embery-Simpson averaged 4.1 points on 34.6 percent shooting and 1.2 rebounds per game. He finished the season ninth on the team in minutes played at 14.6 per game.
Embery-Simpson reached double figures in scoring four times in 2018-19 - Colorado State, Austin Peay, Ole Miss, LSU.
