FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas running backs coach Jeff Traylor has seen all of the impressive runs, the breakaway speed and even the hurdling of defenders.
Traylor, as well as the rest of the Razorbacks’ staff, spends a significant amount of time watching a recruit’s game film before offering a scholarship. So he knows well what type of player he’s getting in Rakeem Boyd.
The lone running back in Arkansas’ first signing class under Chad Morris, Boyd starred at Independence Community College in 2017 and was one of a select few profiled in the Netflix Original Last Chance U, which released on July 20.
