Oglesby opts

Former Arkansas tailback Josh Oglesby has settled on Stephen F. Austin of the Football Championship Subdivision as his transfer destination.

The former track and field standout from Katy, Texas, who missed 2020 due to injury, was buried on the deep tailback roster for the Razorbacks this season. Oglesby, a favorite of Coach Sam Pittman, had four carries for 19 yards this season in games against Texas and Georgia Southern in back-to-back weeks.

Pittman, asked last month about Oglesby, described his situation as exactly what the transfer portal is for.

“I have a high respect for him,” Pittman said. “And it was, ‘Coach, I know my situation on the depth chart. I’ve got a lot of speed. I think I can go help somebody and play. I know where I’m at here. What do you think?’ I was all for it and all for him being able to do that.”
