Arkansas receiver apologizes for nasty special teams hit

Arkansas receiver Marquel Wade was the sole nominee for biggest jerk of a Week 9 Saturday after he administered this special teams hit on Vanderbilt punt returner Jonathan Krause. Wade was ejected for the hit and celebrating afterward. Today, though, Wade formally apologized for hit, claiming he thought Krause had the ball (Krause had called for fair catch).

I was wrong,” Wade said. ”I really want to apologize to any embarrassment to the fans. … I messed up. I take the rep for it, everything I did.

“I thought he had the ball… ( Yeah Right) I thought I just made a good play.”

It doesn’t look like Wade will face any additional punishment for the hit. Wade has eight catches for 62 yards on the season.
