North Carolina transfer LB Khmori House commits to Arkansas

North Carolina transfer linebacker Khmori House has committed to play for Arkansas in 2026, On3 has learned. House played one season with the Tar Heels after spending the first year of his college career with Washington and will have two seasons of eligibility left.

House led the Tar Heels with 81 total tackles this past season in addition to one sack, one interception and one forced fumble. He’ll now look to make a difference for the Razorbacks defense in the inaugural season for coach Ryan Silverfield.

As a true freshman with Washington in 2024, House recorded 35 tackles, one interception, four passes defended and one forced fumble. He played all 12 regular season games for the Huskies.

House played high school football at St. John Bosco in Bellflower, California. He chose to play for Washington over offers from names such as Texas, Auburn and Oklahoma, among others.

This transfer portal cycle, House ranks as the No. 180 overall player and No. 13 linebacker according to On3. He is the 13th player that Arkansas has added through the portal so far, as well as the second linebacker, joining former Auburn player Jamonta Waller.

Arkansas is coming off a 2-10 finish this past season and failed to win a conference game for the first time since 2019. Now the rebuild is on in Fayetteville and Khmori House hopes to be a major part of that next season.

More on the transfer portal in 2026

The 15-day transfer portal this winter will be the only window, opening Jan. 2 and closing on Jan. 16. The NCAA opted to eliminate the spring transfer portal window for football, meaning this will be the only opportunity for student athletes to enter their names.

The move to a one-time-only portal is supposed to allow schools to finish their season with their entire team before the transfer portal opens. As has been the previous standard, athletes on College Football Playoff teams still playing would have 5 days beginning the day after their team’s final game to enter the transfer portal.

This season’s CFP semifinals are set for Jan. 8 and 9. The CFP national championship game is scheduled for Jan. 19 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
