Arkansas adding infielder from Austin Peay

FAYETTEVILLE — Austin Peay infielder John Bolton announced Thursday he will transfer to Arkansas.

"Next stop: Fayetteville. OMAHOGS, let’s ride!!!" Bolton wrote on Twitter.

Bolton, a senior who has one season of eligibility remaining due to the covid-19-shortened season in 2020, batted .287 with an OPS of .783 this year, and recorded 18 doubles, 1 home run and 22 RBI. He was successful in 11 of 14 stolen-base attempts.

Bolton fielded .974 while primarily playing shortstop.

The 5-9, 179-pound Memphis native played two seasons at Hinds (Miss.) Community College before he transferred to Austin Peay prior to the 2021 season.
