Defensive back Chris Murphy, an Arkansas signee who enrolled early but decided to transfer from the Hogs after spring ball, is headed to Cincinnati, according to sources.

Murphy is a three-star recruit in the 2014 class from Marietta, Ga. He's expected to enroll in school and join the Bearcats for fall camp next week, though he'll likely have to sit out a year due to NCAA rules.

Cincinnati lists six defensive backs on its current roster, so this bolsters long-term depth for a team picked by many to win the American Athletic Conference.
