Presumably in line for at least a shot at an increased role in Arkansas’ secondary in 2012, Darrell Smith has instead decided to transfer from the Razorbacks.
According to Matt Jones of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, the safety has received a release from his UA scholarship and will transfer to Jacksonville State. As the Gamecocks play at the Div. 1-AA level, Smith will be eligible to play immediately in 2012 instead of sitting out a transfer season.
The true sophomore will have two years of eligibility remaining.
In his two seasons with the Razorbacks, Smith played in 16 games, eight in each of those years.
