Arkansas star says its a two-team race
The dog days of summer aren't going to stop Cedric Cursh of Foreman, Ark. He is running and working out everyday to get ready for his senior season.
"Man it's tough, but it is something that I need to do," said Cursh, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound outside linebacker with 4.6-second speed in the 40-yard dash.

"Some of my teammates and I have really been working hard but it should pay off because we are looking pretty good for next season."
Cursh has also been working hard on learning a new position that his coaches feel he can help the team at this year.
"Yeah I'm going to start at running back this year," he said.
"I'm looking forward to going both ways and getting to carry the ball and they are going to move me out wide sometimes just trying to get the ball in my hands I guess."
Some of the schools recruiting him are really starting to take notice.
"Texas A&M is recruiting me as an athlete, and said I could come play wideout for them," he said. "Arkansas originally had offered me as a linebacker but I think they may switch the offer to athlete."
Well, what would he rather play offense of defense?
"I would really like to play wide receiver in college." He said. "That will definitely play a big role in my decision.”
It’s a decision that definitely looks to be a Hawg-Aggie battle. Does one team have the leg up?“I really like Arkansas, and they’ve offered me,” he said. “Then again, A&M is a great program, too.”
