FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Three more Razorbacks have joined Dalton Wagner as players to sign deals as undrafted free agents.

Bumper Pool, the Hogs' all-time leading tackler, is going to the NFC East to play for the Carolina Panthers.

Pool finished his Arkansas career with 441 tackles, surpassing Tony Bua's mark of 408. He was named to the All-SEC Second Team after finishing with 92 tackles this past season, his third consecutive season receiving All-SEC honors.

Also going to the NFC East is kicker Jake Bates, who is joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
