The former four-star tail back will spend another year on the Bluff, and now he will get to learn from new head coach Marshall Faulk. Faulk is a Pro Football Hall of Fame running back himself.
Southern is continuing it's rebuild under Faulk with a brand new coaching staff and new additions through the transfer portal.
