Suspended WR gets his release from Arkansas

Following a drug arrest that netted him an indefinite suspension, Arkansas wide receiver Kane Whitehurst has received his release from scholarship.

Whitehurst received his release over the weekend. He was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia following last month’s incident. The Georgia native did not play last year and used his redshirt status. Whitehurst is the third player released from his scholarship this spring, along with receiver Quinta Funderburk and linebacker Brock Haman. The latter has since transferred to Arizona State, while the former is reportedly looking at Syracuse.

The soon-to-be-sophomore was one of six Razorbacks to be arrested this offseason.
