FAYETTEVILLE — Cornerback Jerry Jacobs has left Arkansas' football program, Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman said Monday.
Jacobs, who transferred to Arkansas from Arkansas State as a graduate during the offseason, started the Razorbacks' first three games this season and recorded 17 tackles. He was replaced by freshman Khari Johnson in the starting lineup for Arkansas' last game against Ole Miss on Oct. 17.
"Jerry Jacobs has opted out, so he's no longer on the football team," Pittman said.
"First and foremost, I would like to thank Coach Pittman and the entire coaching staff for giving me this opportunity," Jacobs wrote.
