FAYETTEVILLE – Even Rakeem Boyd’s mother couldn’t get him to go out.
“My mama come in town and tryna drag me out the house … not going,” Boyd posted on his Twitter account Sunday.
Boyd, the University of Arkansas senior running back who has rushed for 1,857 yards combined in the previous two seasons, said he and his teammates are serious about following the safety protocols put in place to protect the Razorbacks’ players, coaches and staff members as the SEC pushes ahead to try to have fall sports during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Basically, it’s watch who you hang out with,” Boyd said on Monday on a Zoom call with Coach Sam Pittman and junior linebacker Bumper Pool.
