He cannot.

Very puzzling decision to say the least.

:(

Technically there is a newish rule that allows him to return if he goes undrafted but sounds like he doesn’t plan to either way

Muss shared Brazile knocking down a pair of 3's today. Looked to be running plays for it.

He's in for a culture shock

No question, the Arkansas Razorbacks are going to put up a lot of points in 2022-23 with the talent on the roster, but obviously there's a defensive end of the floor, too. Early reviews through roughly 10 summer workouts reveal that this team is going to be extremely difficult to score against this coming season.

This doesn't mean that this is how it will unfold come November, but right now it's really, really hard to score on this team," Arkansas coach Eric Musselman said. "If a coach is an offensive coordinator in practice, you'd much prefer to be the defensive coordinator right now because we're really long. We're different, we're able to block shots at a high, high level right now."

Per Kevin McPherson, Layden Blocker has moved up his commitment date to the 25th, this coming Saturday

Dude cancelled his Kansas visit after visiting Arkansas and then moved up his decision date a couple of weeks later, so I imagine that's a good sign.
