LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Former NFL player Jake Bequette (pictured above, left) says he’s challenging Arkansas Sen. John Boozman (right) in next year’s Republican primary.

Bequette on Monday launched his bid with an online video touting his football and military background.

Bequette is an Army veteran who also played for the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Boozman was first elected to the Senate in 2010 and won reelection in 2016. He already faced a crowded primary.

Boozman has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.

In April, he reported having more than $1.1 million in the bank for his reelection bid.
