WATCH: Tyrone Broden shows he’s a grown man on Arkansas’ first touchdown

Arkansas coach Sam Pittman had said, even after the team’s first game of the season, that he wanted to get wide receiver Tyrone Broden more invovled.

Broden has arrived.

The 6-foot-7 wideout, a transfer from Bowling Green, caught the first touchdown of his Arkansas career on Saturday with 48 seconds left in the second quarter against LSU. The score gave Arkansas a 13-3 lead over the No. 12 Tigers.

Broden caught a 19-yard score in one-on-one coverage from quarterback KJ Jefferson. The LSU defender was pulling Broden down in the end zone before the ball even arrived and Arkansas’ wide receiver still hauled it and kept his 6-foot-7 frame from falling out of the back of the end zone.

Broden had two catches for 15 yards entering the game, but he had been a regular on the outside, staying in Arkansas top four throughout at the position.

At the point of his touchdown, Broden had three catches for 31 in Saturday alone.
