FAYETTEVILLE — Infielder Jacob Nesbit won't return to Arkansas' baseball team.
Nesbit, who has eligibility remaining, announced via Twitter on Wednesday that he will spend the next year as a graduate assistant in the Razorbacks' athletics department.
Nesbit thanked the baseball program "for a great 4 years, memories I’ll never forget and most importantly relationships I’ll cherish forever."
Nesbit was Arkansas' everyday third baseman as a redshirt freshman in 2019 and 2020, but relinquished the starting job this year after an early-season position battle with Cullen Smith.
