Freshman running back Taji Atkins continues to impress whenever Rice Football takes the field. Nothing has been too big for this talented newcomer.
There’s been a “Here’s What Taji Atkins Did Today” section of every report I’ve written from camp thus far, and for good reason. The freshman runner continues to dazzle whenever he gets the football. On Saturday he carried the ball eight times for 41 yards, scoring three touchdowns. As if that wasn’t enough, on the first play of the short-yardage situation drills, Atkins bounced a ball outside and kept running until he reached the endzone.
On a play where he was asked to get one yard, he got 50.
