FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas defensive end Dorian Gerald announced Friday he would spend his seventh collegiate season as a Razorback again.

Gerald, who transferred to Arkansas from College of the Canyons (Calif.) prior to the 2018 season, posted on social media on April 25 he had entered the transfer portal.

However, on Friday, he wrote on Twitter, "After many nights of prayers, and tons of support from my family, coaches and loved ones! I like to finish what I started!! I’ll be finishing my last year of football here at THE University of Arkansas!!"

A UA spokesperson confirmed Friday that Gerald had been granted a seventh season, based on a series of injuries and the covid-19 pandemic season of 2020.
