Arkansas defensive back Malik Chavis to transfer portal
Arkansas defensive back and Rison High graduate Malik Chavis has likely played his last football with the Razorbacks.
Chavis was the first player Wednesday from Arkansas to enter the transfer portal. Overall, Chavis is the sixth defensive player from last season’s roster to declare intent for the portal and 10th overall.
Chavis, who played nickel, cornerback and safety over his five seasons with the Hogs, had tackles in each year he played. His best seasons were in 2021 and 2022 when he logged 15 tackles in each.
Chavis played in eight games in 2023 and registered five tackles as he saw his playing time dwindle, though he also battled a hand injury most of the year, as well.
The RHS grad has one season of eligibility left, his sixth.
