FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas forward Justin Smith declared for the upcoming NBA Draft on Sunday.
Smith, the graduate transfer from Indiana who solidified the Razorbacks’ frontcourt and played a pivotal role in Arkansas’ run to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament in 2021, made the announcement in a post to his Twitter account.
He is the second Arkansas player to enter his name into this year’s draft. Moses Moody, the SEC freshman of the year in 2020-21, declared on April 9.
“This year was full of challenges for all of us, but I am proud that our team was able to overcome and find so much success,” Smith wrote.
