Nash follows mother's work ethic

According to history.com, more phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year. Highly regarded receiver and Arkansas target Shamar Nash will be making one of those calls today.

Nash played last season at Memphis Central High School, but transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., in January, thus moving away from his beloved mother.

“Moving away from my mom had to be the hardest decision I’ve made in my life, and she didn’t make it any better because she didn’t hold me back,” Nash said. “She knew this was a great opportunity for me, so her being the type of mom she is, she always wants the best, so she’s going to push you towards that opportunity no matter how much it will hurt her.
