  Senior defensive end John Morgan III, a valuable member of Pitt's pass-rushing unit that led the nation in sacks this season, announced Sunday morning on Twitter that he plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal and will play his final season of eligibility at another school. Morgan, who participated in Senior Day activities at the last home game, played in 53 games, with eight starts, over five seasons. He has a sixth season of eligibility because of the bonus covid year allowed by the NCAA. He redshirted as a freshman in 2018 when he played in only three games.

The loss of Morgan (6-foot-2, 265 pounds) is significant for Pitt's defensive line that also is expected to lose defensive ends Habakkuk Baldonado and Deslin Alexandre to the NFL Draft. Morgan, whose hometown is Upper Marlboro, Md., recorded 73 career tackles (23 for a loss, including 14 sacks) during his time at Pitt. He made five starts this season, including the last two games when Baldonado was injured and unavailable. He recorded eight of his career sacks during the 2021 and '22 seasons. - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

  All-SEC linebacker Drew Sanders will declare for the NFL Draft and will not play in Arkansas' game against Kansas at the Liberty Bowl. Sanders, who has one season of eligibility remaining, is the third Razorback to declare for the draft since the end of the regular season. Center Ricky Stromberg and receiver Jadon Haselwood have also said they will enter the draft, and neither is expected to play in the bowl game. "I've enjoyed playing in college," Sanders told ESPN. "It's always been a dream for me to play in the NFL, ever since I can remember. There's an opportunity for me to take, and I want to take it." Sanders was a break-out star on Arkansas' defense this year. He led the team with 113 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks. His sack total was second to Alabama's Will Anderson (10) in the SEC. - Northwest Arkansas Times

Stromberg, a fourth-year senior from Tulsa who made preseason All-SEC teams, bypassed early entry for the draft last season but elected to forgo a potential bonus year at Arkansas. A source close to the situation said Stromberg, who has 44 career starts, will not play in the Razorbacks' bowl game. - Northwest Arkansas Times

  Arkansas receiver Jadon Haselwood, a junior, announced late Monday he would be declaring for the NFL Draft rather than returning as a senior, presumably taking him out of bowl preparations for the Razorbacks. Haselwood, a one-year transfer from Oklahoma, caught at least three passes in every game and finished with a team-high 59 receptions for 702 yards. He caught three touchdown passes and averaged 11.9 yards per catch while playing with an AC joint injury in his left shoulder throughout the season. Transferring to Arkansas reconnected Haselwood to running backs coach Jimmy Smith, his high school coach at Cedar Grove (Ga.) High School. - Northwest Arkansas Times
