Kickoff specialist Stout sizes up Arkansas opportunity

FAYETTEVILLE — As soon as he wraps up finals at Virginia Tech, transferring redshirt freshman kicker Jordan Stout will set up visits to Arkansas, Penn State and possibly other schools.

Stout (6-2, 195) is a walk-on who had the NCAA’s fourth-best kickoff touchback percentage (84.5) last season.

He would be immediately eligible under a new NCAA rule that goes into effect this fall and allows players immediate eligibility if offered a scholarship at a different school.

“The semester ends for me on the 14th and I am planning a visit (to Arkansas), but don’t have a date yet,” Stout said Monday afternoon.
