Calvaruso out

Kickoff man Vito Calvaruso announced on social media Tuesday that he will enter the transfer portal, marking a huge loss for Arkansas’ special teams.

Calvaruso posted a message that thanked the University of Arkansas for the past two years before adding, “After careful consideration with my family, I believe it is best for me to enter the Transfer Portal. I have three years of eligibility remaining.”

A sophomore from Jefferson City, Mo., Calvaruso had 63 touchbacks on 74 kickoffs this season for a touchback rate of 85.14% that ranked third in the SEC and fifth in the nation.

Calvaruso, the Razorbacks’ top kickoff man the past two years, had two tackles in 2020, both in the season opener against Georgia.
