Arkansas defensive back Jaylon Braxton plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, he announced on his Twitter page Friday evening.

As a sophomore, Braxton didn’t play very much at all due to injuries (bone bruise and tendonitis). He tallied two pass breakups when he played against Oklahoma State. Braxton also started the season opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. He was tabbed second team preseason All-SEC from College Football News.

It didn’t take him long to emerge on the scene. As a freshman in 2023, he earned freshman All-SEC honors from the league’s coaches, after he played in nine games with six starts in his first season. Braxton earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors after his big game against Florida (November 4th), forcing a fumble and returning it 33 yards for a touchdown to go along with a season-best four tackles. He also picked off his first pass against Auburn on November 11th, adding three tackles.

In high school, Braxton played his high school football at Lone Star High School (Frisco, Texas). As a sophomore, he caught one pass for a 23-yard touchdown. He played on both sides of the football. As a junior, he tallied 38 catches for 467 yards (12.3 yards per catch) and two touchdowns. He finished with 27 tackles, including 10 tackles for loss. As senior, Braxton hauled in 41 catches for 566 yards (13.8 yards per catch) and six touchdowns. He also completed one pass for a 10-yard touchdown. He finished with 10 pass breakups and five interceptions.
