Then-sophomore running back Juwan Washington returns the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown during SDSU's 34-28 win over NIU.
San Diego State football junior running back Juwan Washington has bided his time since joining the Aztecs.
That is not to say that the 5-foot-7-inch rusher from Kennedale, Texas, has spent years riding the bench. Far from it.
Washington has never missed a game in his collegiate career since redshirting in 2015, and through his last 20 games has a total of 17 touchdowns through both air, ground and special teams.
What he has never had a chance to do, however, is play feature back for a football program which has taken the position to historic heights.
