adminATLANTA — Elijah Holyfield doesn’t shy away from contact, has great balance and is hard to bring down.
The high school running back inherited those traits from his father, five-time boxing champion Evander Holyfield. Now, colleges from Ohio State to Georgia are taking notice, especially after the young Holyfield opened this season with a seven-touchdown game.
Only a junior at Woodward Academy, Elijah is emerging as a major national recruit at the Atlanta private school. He already has at least 25 offers. He is rated by Rivals.com as the No. 6 running back in the 2016 class and is No. 32 in Scout.com’s ranking. Evander beamed when talking about his son’s success. “I’m excited about it,” Evander said. — AFP.
