Draper injures shoulder, won't play again

FAYETTEVILLE — Levi Draper, a linebacker-turned-tight end who transferred to Arkansas from Oklahoma last year, suffered a shoulder injury in preseason practice and will no longer play football for the Razorbacks.

Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said Draper injured his shoulder on the day he was moved to tight end last weekend. Draper was recruited by the Razorbacks as a linebacker, but did not play last season due to a shoulder injury.

“His shoulder went out and he has, with my blessing — basically I talked to him about it — and he’s medical redshirting, so he’s done,” Pittman said.
