FAYETTEVILLE — Drake Varnado, who played his freshman season at Arkansas this year, will transfer to Arizona State, he said Wednesday in a post to his Twitter account.
Varnado was listed on the Razorbacks’ roster this season as an infielder, but started three games in the outfield. He saw playing time in 15 games as a true freshman.
A Port Neches, Texas, native who played high school baseball at IMG Academy in Florida, Varnado had a .235 batting average in 17 at-bats.
He played his final game May 19 at Alabama when he entered as a pinch runner in the ninth inning.
