Rawleigh Williams' retirement leaves Arkansas thin at RB
The unfortunate news of Arkansas Rawleigh Williams III's retirement from playing football was crushing for just about anyone who has come in contact with Williams or pays any sort of attention to SEC football.
Williams, who was a bruising 5-foot-10, 226-pound back for the Hogs, walked way from the game after suffering a neck injury during Arkansas' final spring practice. It was his second neck injury in two-plus years with the Razorbacks, and while it wasn't reportedly as serious as the one that cost him half of his freshman season in 2015, it was enough of a concern that Williams had to leave the sport.
