FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas running back Rakeem Boyd has been tabbed preseason All-SEC by the league’s coaches, it was announced Thursday.
The Razorbacks’ leading rusher each of the last two seasons, Boyd landed on the second team. Alabama's Najee Harris and Mississippi State's Kylin Hill were first-team selections.
Boyd, the first Arkansas running back to earn preseason coaches All-SEC recognition since Alex Collins, was the lone Razorback among the 90 players making up the first, second and third teams.
Since joining Arkansas in 2018, Boyd has totaled 1,867 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. He ran for a career-high 1,133 yards and eight scores last fall.
