One of the nation's top prospects is considering an official visit to Arkansas.

He expects Coach Chad Morris to make an in-home visit on Thursday. He has taken official visits to Nebraska and Alabama and has three visits left. ESPN rates him the No. 5 athlete and the No. 36 overall prospect in the nation.

Highly recruited receiver Tommy Bush is expecting Coach Morris and receivers coach Justin Stepp to visit his school and home on Tuesday.

Bush, 6-5, 187, 4.47 of Schertz (Texas) Clemens has more than 40 scholarship offers from schools like Arkansas, Texas, Southern Cal, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Florida State, Baylor, Alabama and others. He's said he's considering a visit to Fayetteville.

ESPN rates Bush a four-star prospect, the No. 9 receiver and No. 64 overall prospect.
