Former Pulaski Academy offensive lineman Luke Jones, who signed with Notre Dame in 2018, has announced his plans to transfer to Arkansas.
Jones, 6-5, 303 pounds, originally committed to Arkansas and former coach Bret Bielema in July of 2017 over scholarship offers from Oregon, Arizona State, Missouri, Virginia, Iowa State, Tulane and several others.
Coach Chad Morris and staff hoped to sign Jones, but he ended up flipping to the Fighting Irish in December. He redshirted this past season as a freshman.
ESPN rated Jones a 3-star prospect and the No.57 offensive tackle in the nation as a senior. Jones was a first-team Arkansas Democrat-Gazette All-Arkansas Preps selection in 2017 and a second-team selection in 2016. He was named the 2017 Willie Roaf Award winner by the Little Rock Touchdown Club presented to the top Arkansas high school offensive lineman.
Jones, who could play guard or center at Arkansas, is expected to request a waiver from the NCAA for immediate eligibility.
