Tameka Marks just wanted to buy her youngest son a Halloween costume. She had no idea, at the time, what she was committing to.
All she knew was that Jo’Quavious, who was in preschool, loved Toy Story. Especially Woody, the toy cowboy leading man. So she bought him a Woody costume — with a signature hat, cowhide vest and boots — and nearly two decades later, as Jo’Quavious settles in as the new leading man in USC’s backfield, it’s still a part of him.
That’s because as soon as young Jo’Quavious put on that costume, he never wanted to take it off.
