Nearly two months after leaving the ACC, Henri Murphy has landed in the SWAC as he looks to restart his collegiate playing career.
According to a tweet from Mike Barber of the Richmond Times-Dispatch late last week, Murphy has confirmed that he is transferring to Arkansas Pine Bluff. As the Golden Lions play at the FCS level, Murphy will be eligible to play immediately in 2018.
The wide receiver announced on Twitter June 27 that he would be transferring from Virginia Tech.

Murphy actually started out at a Mississippi junior college before moving on to Blacksburg as part of Tech’s 2016 recruiting class.
During his time with the Hokies, Murphy caught 13 passes for 182 yards. 10 of those receptions and 153 of the yards came during the 2017 season.
The upcoming season will be Murphy’s final year of collegiate eligibility.
