Former Major League Baseball player Monte Harrison is headed back to school ... to play football.

Less than two years removed from his last MLB appearance with the Los Angeles Angels, he plans to walk on at Arkansas as a receiver with the Razorbacks, an Arkansas spokesperson confirmed to ESPN. Harrison, 28, was a four-star recruit who committed to the Nebraska Cornhuskers as part of the class of 2014, but after the Milwaukee Brewers drafted him in the second round of the 2014 MLB draft, he embarked upon a career in professional baseball.
