Injury helps UA land preferred walk-on

Receiver Brett Nabors didn't have to think hard about accepting a preferred walk-on offer from the University of Arkansas.

Nabors, 6-2, 185 pounds, 4.52 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Nashville (Tenn.) Christ Presbyterian Academy had scholarship offers from Valparaiso and Tennessee-Martin. He received an offer from Rutgers in May of last year, but the Scarlet Knights backed off later after he tore his hamstring in July.

"I was out like six to eight weeks before our first game," Nabors said. "It was tough because I missed our summer workouts."

Prior to his injury, several other schools were also showing interest.
