FAYETTEVILLE -- Pitcher Travis Hester intends to transfer from Arkansas' baseball program.

The redshirt freshman right-hander entered the NCAA's transfer portal, a team spokesman said. He could have up to four years of eligibility remaining after the NCAA Division I Council voted last week to restore a year of eligibility to spring athletes.

Hester never pitched for the Razorbacks. He redshirted the 2019 season and did not make Arkansas' 35-man roster this year.

Hester was 9-1 with a 1.00 ERA as a senior at College Station High School in Texas. He was one of 24 high school pitchers named to Collegiate Baseball Newspaper's All-America first team in 2018.
