Timing is everything. It may be finally working out for Jake Yurachek.
Yurachek is in the process of transferring from Colorado to Arkansas. He’s got Power 5 experience after using the new redshirt rule to play in mop-up duty last year for the Buffaloes. And, as a walk-on at both schools, he has immediate eligibility and four years to play.
The 6-2, 227-pound inside linebacker is a welcome addition to an Arkansas depth chart that is thin at his position.
It’s good news for his dad, too. Hunter Yurachek, the UA athletics director, gets free tuition for his children.
