It hasn’t taken Feleipe Franks long to win over the locker room in Fayetteville.
The first-year Razorback quarterback was just named a team captain by Arkansas after transferring in from Florida as a graduate transfer. He is joined by Rakeem Boyd, Grant Morgan and Jonathan Marshall as the four leaders on the team heading into the upcoming season.
Each player is a senior on the team.
Boyd turned down an opportunity to declare early for the 2020 NFL Draft to increase his value playing for Sam Pittman and in Kendal Briles’ offensive system, while Morgan and Marshall each appeared in 12 games last season for the Razorbacks.
Arkansas team captains for the 2020 season:
Feleipe Franks, quarterback
Rakeem Boyd, running back
Grant Morgan, linebacker
Jonathan Marshall, defensive tackle
