Transfers have been a huge part of Sam Pittman's strategy at Arkansas. After the disaster that was Chad Morris, without the transfers, Arkansas's football and Pittman's head coaching career would've stayed in the cellar of college football.

By no means is the program where it needs to be. Last season revealed how much work needs to be done before Arkansas has a quality program. However, teams can be revived overnight if the price is right.

On the other hand, that means players sometimes leave for better opportunities. Most are players who seldom see the field. Although, there have been a few fan favorites that move on. Here are the top-10 most painful for Razorback Nation to process.

10. Lorando "Snaxx" Johnson

Snaxx was one of two players to transfer from Baylor in 2023. They might have come to Arkansas together, but the two defensive backs couldn't have been more different.

While Alfahiym Walcott was a cool and collected defensive back who did the work out of the spotlight, Snaxx was the loud, high-energy guy, and one could say "mouthy" DB that, if he made a play someone, would let them hear about it.

After Miles Slusher left to play for Coach Prime in Colorado, the Razorbacks needed another athletic, physical DB to fit in the nickel position. Snaxx was the man who stepped up.

While at Arkansas, he set career highs with 29 tackles, four tackles for loss, five pass breakups, a sack, and a pick-six on the first play of the second half against Texas A&M.
