5. Ty Storey

Of all the players on this list, Ty Storey's tell is by far the most bittersweet. Storey was a former four-star prospect and a small-town kid from Charleston, Arkansas. 

Unfortunately, his time in Arkansas happened during the worst coaching hires in Arkansas history. Storey played for Arkansas from 2016 to 2018, dividing playing time between him, Cole Kelly, and Conner Nolan, with the vast majority going to Storey. In 2018, Storey transferred to Western Kentucky after recording 1,584 yards for 19 touchdowns.

His story with Arkansas doesn’t stop with his transfer. In the very next season, Ty Storey and the Hilltoppers Arkansas on November 9.  Morris had already led Arkansas for one and a half horrendous seasons, and to say he was on the hot seat was an understatement.

Storey came back into Fayetteville and whooped the Hogs 45-19. His vengeful homecoming was the final nail in Coach Morris’ coffin. Morris was fired shortly after. It showed how bad Morris was as a coach and how much Arkansas lost in losing Storey.
