Rakeem Boyd

Boyd was one of the few silver linings for the Razorbacks in what was an absolutely abysmal 2018 campaign. Boyd seized the opportunity at running back due to injuries, averaging six yards per carry en route to 734 yards on the ground to lead the squad. Devwah Whaley and Chase Hayden should both be back and healthy for the 2019 season, though, meaning competition could be fierce for touches. However, the quarterback position should be in much more capable hands under the direction of graduate transfer Ben Hicks, so the running game may find a bit more room to breathe. It remains to be seen how the carries will be divvied up, but Boyd figures to remain in the mix in some way, shape or form.
