| JUCO Running Back Yahkee Johnson |
HAMPTON, Virginia -- Former L.C. Bird running back Yahkee Johnson has made a few statements in his career.
But this past week, the former standout, made his biggest statement – a commitment to where he would be finishing up his college career.
The 5-8 bolt of lightning has decided on Hampton University.
“Yahkee Johnson is one of the finest young men I have ever coached,” said L.C. Bird coach, David Bedwell. “Hampton got a great football player but an even better young man. Expect big things to come.”
Part of Johnson’s success at L.C. Bird had to do with the trust that he built with Bedwell, calling him someone who is there for him to this day. During his senior year, Johnson broke Jason Snelling’s all-time record for total rushing yardage in a game when he gashed Midlothian for 302 yards. The record has been broken multiple times since, with Paul Robertson being the current record holder, with 426 yards.
