DT Xavier Kelly announces transfer to Arkansas

Former Clemson defensive tackle Xavier Kelly has announced plans to play his final season at Arkansas after entering the NCAA transfer portal on Jan. 18.

He made an official visit to Fayetteville over in January.

“The visit went very well,” Kelly said. “I can see the whole university is surrounded by great people that are trying to change the program around, so it was a good visit.”

Kelly, 6-4, 305 pounds, originally chose Clemson over offers from Georgia, Oklahoma, Kansas State and Alabama out of Wichita (Kan.) East High School in 2016.

He redshirted as a freshman.
