Hunter Grimes, an infielder/outfielder, has entered the transfer portal after redshirting this year with Arkansas. Grimes, who will be turning 25 before the 2025 season, has previously played for Texas-San Antonio and McLennan Community College.
On the other hand, outfielder Carson Hansen from Pewaukee, Wisconsin, announced his commitment to play baseball at the University of Arkansas. The 6-2, 220-pound left-handed batter and thrower was voted to the All-Horizon League first team at Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Hansen put up impressive numbers this year, batting .315 with 25 doubles, 11 home runs, and 63 RBI for the Panthers. He also had a .404 on-base percentage and .601 slugging percentage, with an OPS of 1.005 and a successful 7 out of 8 stolen-base attempts.
Primarily playing right field and batting fourth in the lineup, Hansen made significant contributions during his time at Milwaukee. This summer, he is playing for the Green Bay Rockers in the Northwoods League, batting .191 with 9 hits, 8 walks, 2 home runs, 10 RBI, and 2 stolen bases in 13 games. Hansen is the third known transfer to the Razorbacks this off-season, joining Kuhio Aloy from BYU and Charles Davalan from Florida Gulf Coast.
