The Razorbacks will undoubtedly feel the impact of Carmona’s departure, as his leadership and skills on the offensive line were pivotal to the team’s performance. As of now, details regarding Carmona’s new contract and future team have not been disclosed. Fans and teammates alike will miss his presence on the field but support his decision to seek growth and new challenges in his football career.
