Gatlin won't return to Razorbacks' football team

FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas offensive lineman Noah Gatlin is retiring from football after a lengthy run of medical issues, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette has learned.

Gatlin, a redshirt sophomore in 2020, won the job at right tackle last season and started the first five games there. He suffered a concussion and did not return to action the rest of the season and was replaced by Dalton Wagner, the 12-game starter at right tackle in 2019.

A Jonesboro native, Gatlin has fought through medical issues as a Razorback. He suffered a torn knee ligament on the first day of fall camp in 2019 and missed the entire season while rehabbing from the injury.
