University of Arkansas tailback Raheim Sanders has never been a big talker, but he's starting to come out of his shell after powering for an SEC-best 870 rushing yards though seven games to rank eighth in the country. Sanders, who is averaging 124.3 rush ing yards per game, is on pace to accumulate 1,491 rushing yards through 12 games, a total that would slot him at fourth on the school's single-season rushing chart behind two big seasons from Darren McFadden (1,830 in 2007; 1,647 in 2006) and Alex Colli ns' 1,577 yards in 2015.Sanders and the Razorbacks face the SEC's worst run defense on Saturday at Auburn. The Tigers' 204.4 rushing yards per game, including 448 by Ole Miss and 292 by Georgia in their past two games. "Very serious kid. I mean ve ry serious," Coach Sam Pittman said to describe Sanders on Wednesday. "But where he's come around a little bit more is his personality. He's talking more. Not overly confident and certainly not close to cocky, but he feels good about what he's doing, and he should, and I think he's come a long way there." Sanders has five 100-yard outings in seven games, and the sophomore, who signed with Arkansas as a wideout, is coming off a career-best 175-yard effort in a 52-35 win at BYU that included 2 touchdowns on 15 carries. Speaking after that game, Sanders said he didn't know how to communicate well with the team's offensive linemen when he came in as a freshman receiver. "I didn't even know their names as much, so I wasn't communicating with them well," San ders said. "Back then, I wouldn't say I was scared, but I was nervous to say something to them." - Northwest Arkansas Times

Arkansas running back Raheim Sanders has officially been listed as the Razorbacks' No.1 running back, Pig Trail Nation reported Wednesday. After a dominant spring, the team's coach Sam Pittman has declared Sanders as the top running back on the Arkansas roster. He was third on the team last year in rushing yards, but with Trelon Smith's departure from the team and Dominique Johnson still recovering from an undisclosed injury, Sanders was able to claim the RB1 spot. - Pig Trail Nation

Arkansas has nailed down its complement to running back Trelon Smith. Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman made it clear Saturday after the team's second scrimmage of the preseason that No. 2 at the position is No. 5 - freshman Raheim Sanders. The second-year co ach spoke glowingly of the physically impressive back. It was likely easy to after watching Sanders make a leap in performance over the first scrimmage and find the end zone twice inside Reynolds Razorback Stadium."He ran well, he ran hard and had a good day," Pittman said. "He had a really good day. With Rocket, last week, I'm not for sure that he had - I don't know - but I can't remember if he had more than a 5- or 7-yard run in last week's scrimmage. "He improved so much from in practice, I be lieve, because (he thought), 'Hey, I'm in the SEC. I got hit by SEC players and I'm still OK.' I think he gained a lot of confidence last week." One of the standouts in Saturday's work, which included roughly 150 plays, Sanders had touchdown runs of 6 an d 39 yards. He also had a 2-yard rushing score in the scrimmage last Saturday. - Northwest Arkansas Times
