A former Razorback catcher, Polk played two seasons under head coach Dave Van Horn after transferring to Arkansas from Oklahoma prior to the 2023 season. In his two years as a Hog, Polk hit three home runs and recorded 12 RBI over 35 games.

Since Polk joined the coaching staff, Arkansas has made one trip to the College World Series (2025).
