Early enrollee shows he can catch on

FAYETTEVILLE — Shamar Nash has already made two major transitions in his young football-playing life.

The 6-3 receiver left his home in south Memphis to play his senior year of high school at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., in 2018, then he enrolled in January at the University of Arkansas to prepare for his freshman season this fall.

Nash has a go-to adjective — “beautiful” — to describe his past two sets of surroundings.

His time at IMG Academy, which included high school teammate and fellow Arkansas signee Eric Gregory, was “actually a beautiful experience. I viewed it as a great opportunity more than anything,” Nash said.
