TRANSFER TRACKER: Arkansas baseball player movement in 2024 | Whole Hog Sports

Published

on

It is expected to be another busy offseason for the Arkansas baseball team.

The Razorbacks must replace several departing position players with transfers from other programs, and it would not surprise for Arkansas to have multiple players transfer away. 

We will update this page throughout the offseason to update on the Razorbacks’ latest personnel movement. 

NEWCOMERS AT ARKANSAS TO PLAY IN 2025

• KUHIO ALOY, DH/INF

Previous School: BYU

Bats/Throws: R/R

2025 Classification: Sophomore

Hometown: Wailuku, Hawaii

The younger brother of Arkansas shortstop Wehiwa, Kuhio Aloy was named to the freshman All-Big 12 team after he batted .269 with 9 doubles, 1 triple, 8 home runs and a team-high 38 RBI. He tied for the Big 12 lead with seven sacrifice flies. Aloy, 6-1, started 46 games as the Cougars’ designated hitter and four games at first base.

• CHARLES DAVALAN, OF/INF

Previous School: Florida Gulf Coast

Davalan gives the Razorbacks a potential leadoff man and replacement in center field. 

Bats/Throws: L/R

2025 Classification: Sophomore

Hometown: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

As an All-Atlantic Sun Conference freshman team performer, the 5-10 Davalan batted .288 with 16 doubles, 2 triples, 10 home runs and 37 RBI in the leadoff spot. He was successful on 13 of 18 stolen-base attempts. He started 30 games at second base and 26 games in right field. He appears to project as an outfielder professionally and will be eligible for the draft following his sophomore year. He is playing this summer for the Cotuit Kettleers at the Cape Cod League. 

• CARSON HANSEN, OF

Previous School: Wisconsin-Milwaukee

Bats/Throws: L/L

2025 Classification: Junior

Hometown: Pewaukee, Wis. 

Hansen, 6-2 and 220 pounds, batted .315 with 25 doubles, 11 home runs and 63 RBI as a sophomore All-Horizon League performer. He had a .404 on-base percentage and .601 slugging percentage for an OPS of 1.005. He was successful in 7 of 8 stolen-base attempts. His 25 doubles were tied for fourth prior to the NCAA postseason. He started 43 games in right field. He is playing this summer for the Green Bay Rockers at the Northwoods League. 

TRANSFERRING FROM ARKANSAS TO ANOTHER PROGRAM

• HUNTER GRIMES, OF/INF

New School: Uncommitted

Grimes, who will turn 25 prior to the 2025 season, has redshirted twice and got a bonus year that was afforded to players affected by the pandemic-shortened season. Grimes previously played at Texas-San Antonio and McLennan (Texas) Community College. He played in 19 games and started five times on the Razorbacks’ SEC championship team in 2023, and his late-game assist to home plate from left field was key to a victory over Texas A&M that year. Grimes did not play in 2024.
