Pulaski Academy sophomore running back Joe Himon had a major college offer long before his first varsity game and it is likely other programs will follow.
Himon, 5-9, 180 pounds, started the season strong with 148 rushing and receiving yards. He took a screen pass 85 yards for a score in the Bruins' 84-68 victory over Springdale Har-Ber.
He missed the majority of his ninth grade season after suffering an injury in the first game.
“I knew the kid was talented, but his coaches were telling me, ‘Coach, this kid is the real deal’,” Pulaski Academy coach Kevin Kelley said.
