If his father packed a wallop like this, he might still be heavyweight boxing champion of the world.
Running back Elijah Holyfield, son of retired heavyweight fighter Evander Holyfield, scored seven touchdowns Friday to help Woodward Academy beat Decatur 45-13 in a Georgia high school football game.
Holyfield, a junior who has already attracted some attention from Big Ten and SEC colleges, returned the opening kickoff 84 yards for a score and tacked on six rushing TDs while amassing 147 yards on the ground.
The seven touchdowns nearly equaled Holyfield's sophomore total of eight for the College Park, Ga., school, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.
