Maybe the best recruiting job Sam Pittman has done in a few weeks on the job with Arkansas is Monday afternoon’s announcement that rising senior running back Rakeem Boyd will be coming back.
Boyd made the announcement Monday afternoon via Twitter:

Boyd was their top contributor on offense this season. He carried the ball 184 times and rushed for a team-leading 1,174 yards. His 94.2 yards per game ranked fifth in the Southeastern Conference.
The speedster’s eight rushing touchdowns were good for the 10th most in the conference.
He fell just short of cracking Arkansas’ top 10 all-time single-season rushing list. Additionally, he averaged 6.16 yards per carry.
