Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek statement supporting the legal enforcement of NIL agreements on Tuesday afternoon.
Yurachek confirmed Arkansas Edge, the Razorbacks’ NIL collective, will “enforce their rights uner any agreement violated by our student-athletes moving forward.” While not named directly, the statement comes 1 day after true freshman quarterback Madden Iamaleava opted to enter the transfer portal.
Here’s the statement in full:
“I have spoken with the leadership team at Arkansas Edge and expressed my support in their pursuit to enforce their rights under any agreement violated by our student-athletes moving forward. We appreciate Edge’s investment in our student-athletes and acknowledge the enforcement of these agreements is vital in our new world college athletics. We look forward to continued dialogue with all parties resolving these matters.”

— Hunter Yurachek (@HunterYurachek) April 22, 2025The statement seems to point toward an NIL agreement that Arkansas had in place with Iamaleava, who committed to UCLA on Monday evening. Iamaleava will be following his older brother, Nico, to Westwood to play for the Bruins in 2025.
It’s a big loss for the Razorbacks, as Iamaleava was a 4-star prospect and one of the highest-rated prospects in Arkansas’ 2025 high school recruiting class.
Iamaleava was previously committed to UCLA before flipping to Sam Pittman and the Razorbacks late in the 2025 cycle.
At this time, financial details for the NIL deal Iamaleava agreed to with the Razorbacks remain unknown. But judging by this statement from Yurachek, it seems Arkansas will pursue some sort of re-payment from Iamaleava as a result of his early departure.
