FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas and assistant Dominique Bowman have parted ways.

Bowman spent one season at Arkansas after coming over from Marshall to replace Sam Carter. Sources had indicated to this reporter prior to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl that Bowman wouldn't be at Arkansas in 2023.

He is the third member of the defensive staff to leave this offseason. Coordinator Barry Odom is the new head coach at UNLV. Michael Scherer, who coached the linebackers at Arkansas, now is the defensive coordinator at UNLV. In addition, Dowell Loggains left to become offensive coordinator at South Carolina. He coached the tight ends at Arkansas.

Sam Pittman has hired Travis Williams from UCF and Marcus Woodson from Florida State as co-defensive coordinators. Deke Adams returns as the defensive line coach.

Bowman has also coached at UT Martin, Austin Peay, Arkansas-Monticello and Cordova (Tenn.) High School.
