FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas basketball forward Karter Knox will return to the Razorbacks for the 2025-26 season, he posted on social media Monday.

Knox declared for the NBA Draft on April 17 but maintained his eligibility. He averaged 8.3 points and 3.3 rebounds, and shot 46.2% from the field as a freshman.

He started 24 of Arkansas' final 25 games, slotting into the starting lineup in December.

Knox entered the draft along with his Arkansas teammates Boogie Fland and Adou Thiero. Fland withdrew and transferred to Florida, while Thiero is still going through the draft process.

Thiero recently said he was leaning toward staying in the draft but that a collegiate return was possible.
