RIP Darrell Brown - Arkansas' First African-American Football Player Passes Away

Very sad to hear about the death of Darrell Brown, the South's first black college football player. Incredible life. https://t.co/2miv27wABD

It's being widely reported that former Razorback Darrell Brown, the first African-American player in program history, and likely in all the South among majority-white schools, passed away Saturday morning.

Brown's time as a Razorback is not remembered for on the field heroics. It was no Disney movie. He endured an extremely tough experience as he tried to integrate Southern football during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.
