Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: yet another FBS player has decided to take advantage of the newly-minted NCAA redshirt rule.
On his personal Twitter account Wednesday evening, Kyrei Fisher announced that he has decided to “separate from the University of Arkansas.” The transfer decision from the linebacker comes a few days after the Razorbacks’ fourth game of the season, the cutoff that allows a player to retain a season of eligibility.

Through four games in 2018, Fisher had played a total of seven snaps. A three-star member of the Razorbacks’ 2017 recruiting class, the Oklahoma native played in two games as a true freshman -- the season opener and the regular-season finale.
Earlier this week, Jonathan Nance, Arkansas’ leading receiver in 2017, announced his decision to transfer from the Razorbacks as well.
