North Texas tight end transfer Var’Keyes Gumms has reopened his recruitment after committing to Arkansas on April 23.

Gumms, 6-3 and 235 pounds, made an official visit to Fayetteville on April 21-23. He posted on Twitter Tuesday morning he was officially visiting California this weekend. 

When asked if he was no longer committed to Arkansas, he said, “Yes sir.” 

He was named a second-team Freshman All-American last season as a redshirt freshman at North Texas. He also earned first-team All-Conference USA honors by the league's coaches.

Gumms played in 14 games with 6 starts, and had 34 receptions for 458 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Arkansas now has 13 pledges from transfers since the end of the 2022 season. The Razorbacks have seven scholarships available within the 85-scholarship limit.
