Former Sooners TE Austin Haywood

Former Sooners tight end Austin Haywood left the football team last October. The sophomore transferred at the end of the season to the University of Central Arkansas.

Haywood ended up being suspended for a majority of the offseason at UCA. He was reinstated during summer. Sooner Nation tweeted yesterday the link to the story from earlier this month that Haywood is no longer with UCA.

“He has made the decision to not continue playing football,” UCA coach Clint Conque said. “We had suspended him early, but he had been reinstated and was academically eligible. However, he has chosen to not continue his football career. We wish him all the best.”
