Just saw this tweet from Evander Holyfield. His son, Elijah Holyfield, is a 2016 RB from Georgia. Here are his highlights from Hudl.

According to Elijah's Twitter account, it appears Boston College offered him today, it is his first offer. Early indications are he is a very strong lean to Georgia if offered.

we eat subs and things get CRAZY!
October 11th, 2013 at 2:15 AM ^
Better subs than ears...
October 11th, 2013 at 2:22 AM ^
If he's a 2016 kid we almost certainly wasn't even born yet when that fight happened. Crazy.
October 11th, 2013 at 2:52 AM ^
Evander has about 20 more children we can offer scholarships too, if we absolutely have to have a Holyfield kid...
October 11th, 2013 at 5:36 AM ^
...like a bawse.
October 11th, 2013 at 8:45 AM ^
We could fill an entire recruiting class with Holyfields and Kemps.

October 11th, 2013 at 9:25 AM ^
I'd throw the Foremans and the Cromarties in there as well.
October 11th, 2013 at 4:02 AM ^
Go Red Sox!!
October 11th, 2013 at 8:11 AM ^
Go Tigers!!!
October 11th, 2013 at 9:04 AM ^
Seeing this comment, then seeing your point total just justified the points thing for me forever.
October 11th, 2013 at 7:05 AM ^
must be some kind of aphrodisiac in them ears, but I will stick to subs with viagra salad dressing on top.
October 11th, 2013 at 7:20 AM ^
Is Evander Holyfield referring to himself in the 3rd person on his own twitter account?

All of your professional athlete's sons belong to us.
October 11th, 2013 at 8:40 AM ^
Gah, it kills me when someone butchers a meme...
October 11th, 2013 at 9:25 AM ^
October 11th, 2013 at 9:43 AM ^
In summary, the correct statement would have been:
"Awl of yore professional athletes sun's is belonging too us."

I wonder if he would get along with Tyson's son.
October 11th, 2013 at 8:46 AM ^
Gary Downs is now the head coach, and was the running backs when I was there. He played with our very own Tyrone Wheatley. I fondly remember him saying that Tyrone was just a track star with a monster line.

October 11th, 2013 at 9:24 AM ^
What? How should I know?
October 11th, 2013 at 9:53 AM ^
It moved
October 11th, 2013 at 10:41 AM ^
Yeah, I like him. But I don't *like* him like him.
October 11th, 2013 at 9:58 AM ^
It's probably a good thing Elijah got directed into a sport where he and his opponents are wearing head gear to protect his ears.
October 11th, 2013 at 1:10 PM ^
October 11th, 2013 at 10:15 AM ^
as there is Snoop Dogg's.
October 11th, 2013 at 3:02 PM ^
Did anyone see "Being Mike Tyson" on Fox Sports yesterday? If not, try to catch it as the whole episode is Tyson and Holyfield hanging out and talking about their previous fights. Very funny. Also, they go watch one of Holyfield's sons box and he clearly has talent. I would think that anyone of his children have serious talent, however, he wouldn't come here if offred by Georgia.
October 11th, 2013 at 4:06 PM ^
Elijah Holyfield's stats are Ht: 5-11 Wt: 189 40: 4.65
Compare that to:
Derrick Green Ht: 5-11 Wt: 220 40: 4.4
DeVeon Smith Ht: 5-11 Wt: 220 40: 4.5
Damian Harris Ht: 5-11 Wt: 189 40: 4.44
Holyfield would be the combination of the smallest, slowest RB since Hoke became head coach. Do you really think that he rates an offer?
October 11th, 2013 at 4:52 PM ^
and there's always a but, some runners are simply great without possessing great speed. Even at 4.65,you have to remember he will probably be faster than the first seven guys he has to go through, and also depending on other variables, he could be considered for other positions. I can think of two of the best Big Ten RBs in the recent past that probably were about the same speed. Once happened to be our all-time leading ground gainer by time he left. Another is Maurice Clarett. Whereas Mike was just a slower version of Barry Sanders, albeit a bit slower, Maurice was great because he possessed a tremendous knack for setting up his blockers and making the correct cut at precisely the right time. Our coaches have been around h.s. kids for years and they know if a kid is deserving or not. Believe me, they won't waste an offer on a kid they don't believe is going to help us to our ultimate goal and that is putting up Ws on Saturday afternoons.
October 11th, 2013 at 5:09 PM ^
I don't know which is worse, being compared to Maurice Clarett or having your ear bitten off.
October 12th, 2013 at 1:47 AM ^
there are worse comparisons than a guy who had 1237 yards on 222 attempts and 18TD's for 5.6YPC in a single season.
Conclusion: ear bitten off is way, way worse. The former might get you drafted; the latter...not so much.
