Slush remix

Junior defensive back Myles Slusher rejoined the Arkansas secondary after missing two games at a time when it was ailing with the losses of safety Jalen Catalon and cornerback LaDarrius Bishop.

Slusher had six tackles, including a tackle for a 4-yard loss, a hurry and a pass breakup in the Razorbacks’ 23-21 loss to Texas A&M last week.

“Still a lot of stuff to clean up as far as my playing and technique wise, but it felt good being back out there with the team and everything,” Slusher said.

“I felt like we’re coming good together. We’re going to have a strong week this week.”

Slusher needed a couple of weeks to recover from a huge blow he delivered on Cincinnati tight end Leonard Taylor that left him dazed on the field for a couple of minutes.

The cross training conducted by defensive coordinator and safeties coach Barry Odom paid off during the down time.

“I feel like everybody is prepared in case something happens in the back end, or if somebody needs to move,” Slusher said. “We trained for that in spring ball and fall camp.”
