FAYETTEVILLE — Coach Sam Pittman isn’t sure if freshman Quincey McAdoo will start at cornerback for Arkansas on Saturday against Liberty, but he said the work the former receiver is getting with the top unit will pay off.

“He’s done really well,” Pittman said Wednesday. “We knew he was talented and things. It was more about learning everything he needed to know to get on the field.

“But I wanted him to get a lot of reps with the ones. I don’t know that he’ll start or not, but he’s looked really good this week.”

McAdoo and fellow freshman receiver Sam Mbake have been working in the secondary since the Razorbacks lost several defensive backs in a loss at Mississippi State four weeks ago.
