Juco WRs catch on right away

FAYETTEVILLE -- After Jared Cornelius, experience for the Arkansas Razorbacks wide receivers drops off off drastically to young wideouts such as Deon Stewart, La'Michael Pettway, Jordan Jones and T.J. Hammonds.

But the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville did add a couple of key veterans in Brandon Martin, the top junior college receiver in the country, and Jonathan Nance, Martin's teammate at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.

They are expected to help immediately.

"I was excited for them when they first came in in January and just day one, seeing how smooth they are out there and how good a football sense they have is pretty awesome to see," quarterback Austin Allen said.
