Razorback DE flips back to TE

Colton Miles-Nash will make a position move from defensive end back to tight end this season, Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said Monday prior to a golf event at Chenal Country Club. Miles-Nash, a junior, switched to defensive end prior to his sophomore season. He played in all 13 games at the position a year ago, recording 14 tackles. Miles-Nash didn’t record any stats at tight end as a freshman. Miles-Nash’s most memorable play came last season in the Sugar Bowl when he blocked a punt late in the fourth quarter against Ohio State. “We made that move when he came back from a short summer break,” Petrino said. “After spring ball I felt we needed more punch in the running game from our tight end position. I think it will be a good combination between him and Chris Gragg, and some of the other guys who did a good job in the spring. “There’s no question when you look at the runs Knile Davis is good at and where he performed well last year, we need to be able to set the edge and get him on the perimenter, and stretch the field where he can cut back, and we really feel like Colton can do that.”
