Arkansas running back Rawleigh Williams III announced the end of his college football career in a written message to fans posted on the UA website.
Williams bounced back from major neck surgery in October 2015 to rush for 1,360 yards in 2016, but he suffered a second neurological event early in the Razorbacks’ Red-White practice on April 29, 2017.
“I’m moving on to the next chapter of my life,” Williams wrote. “It still doesn’t seem real yet, but I really don’t have a choice. I’ve dodged the bullet twice. I realize that at the end of the day I want to live a normal life and be around my family.”
