Slusher gone

Arkansas safety Myles Slusher did not make the trip to Missouri after leaving the team.

“He came in, we visited on Sunday, and Sunday evening he quit the team,” Coach Sam Pittman said.

Pittman said Slusher’s decision surprised him, but he didn’t want to comment further when asked if it was disappointing a player would quit 11 games into the season.

“I don’t want to talk about that anymore,” Pittman said.

Slusher has two seasons of eligibility remaining and sources close to the team confirmed he intends to enter the transfer portal.

Slusher played in six games — all starts — this season and made 28 tackles with 5 tackles for losses for 13 yards. He missed four games because of injuries and was suspended for the LSU game after being arrested for disorderly conduct.

Slusher returned to the lineup against Ole Miss last week and had eight tackles. He played in 23 games over three seasons and had 93 tackles.

Sophomore Jayden Johnson started at nickel back Friday for the Razorbacks.
