FAYETTEVILLE — Rakeem Boyd had plans to play a big role in the Southwest Classic at AT&T Stadium when he enrolled in college.
He’ll have a chance to do so Saturday, just for a different team than he first intended.
Boyd (6-3, 210 pounds) signed with Texas A&M in 2016 and redshirted after a late arrival to College Station, spent the next season at Independence, Kan., Community College where he was featured on the Netflix series Last Chance U and then signed with Arkansas, where was added to the roster in August.
"There is a lot on the line and I am ready to get out there,” Boyd said.
