Former North Carolina quarterback Jacob Criswell<\/b> has committed to transfer to the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Morrilton (Ark.) Native went public with his decision on Saturday during an official visit with the Hogs, becoming their second transfer commitment since the portal window opened on December 5.<\/span><\/p>\n

Criswell chose a return to the Natural State over Wisconsin, where former UNC offensive coordinator Phil Longo<\/b> now serves under the same title and planned to host his former quarterback for an official visit next weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a four-star recruit in the Class of 2020, Criswell was offered by former Arkansas head coach Chad Morris<\/b> but was lightly recruited as the Hogs opted to take the coach’s son, Chandler Morris<\/b>. Criswell went on to play in six games as a true freshman, completing 3 of 4 passes for 16 yards with one interception and 26 rushing yards on 9 attempts.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2021, Criswell played in five games and went 13 of 21 for 179 yards and a touchdown while adding 68 yards and another score with his legs. He was limited to four games in 2022, going 2 for 6 for 9 yards with 39 rushing yards.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Morrilton product was considered a redshirt-sophomore in 2022 but also has an extra year due to covid-19. He plans to enroll at the UA in January.<\/span><\/p>\n

Criswell is the younger brother of former Razorback and current San Francisco 49ers standout linebacker Dre Greenlaw<\/b>who ranks 14th in program history with 321 career tackles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Criswell is seen as a welcome addition to an Arkansas quarterback room that currently includes just one scholarship player in 2-year starter K. J. Jefferson<\/b>who has already announced his intentions to return in 2023. The Razorbacks will add a third former four-star to the mix in January when Class of 2023 commitment Malachi Singleton<\/b> makes his way to campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arkansas also has two notable former walk-ons in the position group in Cade Fortin<\/b> and Kade Renfro<\/b>who were scholarship quarterbacks at previous Power 5 stops. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to Criswell, the Hogs are hosting two other transfer targets on official visits in former Iowa wide receiver Arland Bruce and former Texas A&M-Commerce wide receiver Andrew Armstrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
