Arkansas running back Raheim Sanders (5) carries the ball during the Razorbacks' Red-White spring game on Saturday, April 17, 2021, in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE — The first “crowd went wild” moment of spring scrimmages during the Sam Pittman era at the University of Arkansas was produced by the kid who came in with a splashy nickname.
Raheim “Rocket” Sanders broke a couple of tackles en route to a 35-yard run in the first fan-attended scrimmage on March 20.
Though the play came with the third unit on offense against nonstarters, it was an eye opener as fans got to see what all the hype was about regarding one of the gems of the Razorbacks’ newest signing class.
