Tweaking integral to transition

FAYETTEVILLE -- The Arkansas Razorbacks' experimentation on defense continued on Tuesday with McTelvin Agim getting some snaps at the nose guard position.

Coach Bret Bielema and defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads have said they expected to have more versatility in the move to a 3-4 front and that players would try different spots in the spring.

"We've been working on packages with me playing all the positions," Agim said. "We'll see how it goes when the season comes."

Bijhon Jackson, a 335-pound senior, and Austin Capps, a 309-pound sophomore, have been the top two nose guards during the spring, but the 285-pound Agim and 299-pound Jonathan Marshall and others have gotten looks at the spot.
