Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said he is working with Graham and his parents on transfer options. He said the transfer is not related to any legal or academic issues.

Graham has four years of eligibility remaining, but would have to sit out the 2016 season if he transfers to another school within the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision.

Graham is the fourth player to transfer from the Razorbacks this summer. Receiver Eric Hawkins transferred to SMU and defensive back Willie Sykes transferred to Independence Community College in Kansas.

Running back Denzell Evans graduated this summer and has enrolled at Kansas, where he will have two years of eligibility remaining. Evans is eligible to play for the Jayhawks this season.
