Starkel leaving Arkansas football team

FAYETTEVILLE — Quarterback Nick Starkel announced Friday that he will leave the Arkansas football team.

"After talking with Coach (Sam) Pittman, I have decided to leave Arkansas and pursue playing football elsewhere whether that is professionally or at another level," Starkel wrote.

Starkel started five games for the Razorbacks this year after transferring from Texas A&M. He will have one year of eligibility remaining at his next school, should he choose to continue playing college football.

One of five starting quarterbacks at Arkansas in 2019, Starkel completed 96 of 179 passes for 1,152 yards, 7 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
