FAYETTEVILLE — Two-thirds of Arkansas’ expected three-headed monster at tight end are no longer on the team.
Head coach Sam Pittman announced during Monday’s press conference that Ty Washington and Var’keyes Gumms had been dismissed for a violation of team rules. He also confirmed that they do not have an option to return.
They are the third and fourth players to leave the program since the 85-man scholarship list was established at the start of the school year, joining long snapper Eli Stein and Jaedon Wilson.
The timeline of their departures isn’t 100% clear, but Gumms first appeared as “out” on the SEC’s official availability report on Friday and Washington played just one offensive snap against Mississippi State on Saturday.
