Words from the Coach:
“Darius, as one of our many young guys, has already started developing as a leader in our program. He started both ways as a Sophomore. This off-season, he has focused on developing his speed and power to make an impact on the offense at running back. Darius has great vision and speed. On defense, he has shown his solid coverage skills to be our top returning corner.”
