Nutt was with former Arkansas Razorback player David Johnson and appeared to have a one-track mind as he chose one melon at a time. He was asked what brought him to town today. 

“Well, this goes way back to David Johnson, my man. And he used to take watermelons from Hope, which I love, hope watermelon, and take them and come feed my Razorbacks during the hot days of August. This was always a tradition.  Now that I've been visiting my mom, I'm coming back through. So who do I call? I call my man because I think about these watermelons. So I can't wait. I'm a big watermelon man,” Nutt said. 

Video of the interview can be seen below the photos.

Johnson has continued the tradition of bringing Hope watermelons to the Razorback players to enjoy after a hot day of practice since 1995. 

Nutt said he and Johnson had just enjoyed a meal at Sheba's. He comes in to Hope about three to four times a year. 

Gonzalez said this year’s crop is slightly better than last year’s, yielding about 3,000 watermelons so far.
