FAYETTEVILLE — Rakeem Boyd’s first two seasons at Arkansas can best be described as a learning experience.
The Razorbacks have finished with identical 2-10 records in each of the last two seasons, but Boyd, the former Texas A&M signee turned junior college standout, has had a blast, he said. Part of the fun came as he put the Southeastern Conference on notice in 2019 with a breakout year on the ground.
After rushing for a team-high 734 yards in 2018, Boyd vaulted himself into the conversation as one of the league’s premier backs thanks to a productive stretch on an otherwise largely stagnant offense.
