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

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

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.

He struck out 91 and walked 31, and opposing hitters batted .231 against him. On3.com rated Beidelschies the No. 5 player available in the transfer portal at the time of his commitment. He has a big arm, with a fastball that has been clocked at 98 mph.

TRANSFERRING FROM ARKANSAS TO ANOTHER PROGRAM

• JAYSON JONES, OF/INF

New School: Uncommitted

Jones showed big power potential, but also a lot of swing and miss during his two years with the Razorbacks. He has 5 doubles, 6 home runs and 41 strikeouts in 118 college at-bats. Jones practiced at third base last fall and was given playing time in left field during his sophomore season when he played 23 games. Jones was a high draft prospect out of high school in North Texas and was ranked the No. 5 overall prospect in the class of 2022. 

• 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.
