Hogs’ DT Jackson in portal

Another University of Arkansas football player has entered the NCAA transfer portal.

Enoch Jackson, a sophomore defensive tackle, announced his intent to leave the program Wednesday. He becomes the second player to transfer since the end of spring practices.

Wide receiver Mike Woods, who was expected to be among Arkansas’ top playmakers in 2021, said Tuesday he is entering the transfer portal as a graduate transfer.

“I have entered the portal. 4 years of eligibility left,” Jackson wrote on Twitter.

Jackson, 6-0, 298 pounds, was in competition for playing time at defensive tackle during the spring, but Isaiah Nichols, Taurean Carter, Eric Gregory — who has a combo role at end and tackle — and others appeared to be ahead of him on the depth chart.

He played in three games over the last two seasons — against Mississippi State and Western Kentucky in 2019, and against LSU in 2020. He did not record any statistics.

Jackson finished Saturday’s spring game with 5 tackles, 2 tackles for loss and 1 sack for the Red team.

A 3-star prospect from Mansfield (Texas) Legacy, he was rated the No. 28 defensive tackle nationally by Rivals. Jackson initially signed with the Razorbacks over scholarship offers from Florida, Georgia, LSU, Missouri and other programs.
