Not to be confused with the all-everything Michigan linebacker and potential first-round NFL draft pick, Devin Bush looks like he could be a potential lockdown corner for the Razorbacks.

The Razorbacks didn’t have the best passing defense in the nation last season and will be losing Ryan Pulley at the corner position. Those are going to be some big shoes to fill and Bush may be a guy who comes in as an early enrollee, impresses the staff and cracks the two-deep by the start of the 2019 season.

Bush stands 6-foot-0, 190 pounds and is a master at reading the opposing quarterback’s eyes and jumping routes. He is sometimes so good at diagnosing a route that he runs it for the receiver, forcing the quarterback to either throw into coverage, throw it away or toss it right to Bush.

Though he’s not an overly-physical corner, he is strong enough to make tackles in the open field and is more of a ballhawk and an athlete than anything else. He could also double as a return man in the Razorbacks decide to go that route with him in more of a secondary role.

This kid is going to be a stud in the secondary for the next few years, starting his freshman season.
