FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas defensive coordinator John Chavis has exercised a voluntary two-year employment extension that will keep him under contract with the Razorbacks through the 2020 season.
Chavis, 62, had the option to extend his contract by two seasons if he requested it in writing prior to Dec. 1. On Nov. 21, Chavis wrote to Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek, stating his intent to remain on staff, according to a letter obtained by WholeHogSports through an open records request.
"I look forward to continuing my work with the University of Arkansas football program," Chavis wrote.
