Morrilton Native Jacolby Criswell Returning Home to Hogs
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Jacolby Criswell is coming home.
The Morrilton native announced on social media Saturday he's made his choice after entering the transfer portal following a few years at North Carolina playing for Mack Brown.
He was in Fayetteville on an official visit.
This means he won't be taking a visit to Wisconsin where former Tar Heels offensive coordinator Phil Longo now serves under the same title and planned to host his former quarterback for an official visit next weekend.
He becomes the third scholarship quarterback on the roster. Georgia prep quarterback Malachi Singleton is expected to sign with the Razorbacks during the early signing period that runs Dec. 21-23.
Second-year starting quarterback KJ Jefferson recently announced his plans to return to Arkansas for the 2023 season.
Criswell signed with the Tar Heels in 2020 as a consensus 4-star prospect. He also had offers from Arkansas, Georgia, Miami, Ole Miss, Auburn, Oklahoma State and other schools.
He backed up the ACC’s Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year, Drake Maye, this season and appeared in three games. He completed 2 of 6 passes for 9 yards, and rushed 4 times for 39 yards.
He started a game against Wofford during the 2021 season and was 11-of-19 passing for 125 yards and 1 touchdown, and rushed 5 times for 66 yards and 1 touchdown. He appeared in three other games.
As a true freshman, he played in six games in 2020. He completed 3 of 4 passes for 16 yards and was intercepted once that year, and had 9 carries for 26 yards.
He plans to enroll in January.
