Since the beginning of preseason practices, Arkansas coach Houston Nutt has been looking for a wide receiver other than Marcus Monk to step up and prove himself.

So far, freshman Crosby Tuck has been a pleasant surprise.

The Shiloh Christian graduate continued to impress coaches by making several catches on Friday morning, including one in which he dove near the sideline to grab the football.

"Unlike a lot of the other freshman receivers that's been here the last few years, he knows how to get off the line of scrimmage," Nutt said of the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Tuck. "He's a little bit stronger and more physical than the ones we've had the last three years.
