Watch: Son of Hall of Famer Edgerrin James gallops for 56-yard TD in Howard blowout

By Mike Santa Barbara | Last updated 9/17/22

For those that remember Edgerrin James' 11-year Hall of Fame career, prepare to feel old.

On Saturday, James' son, Eden, made the first highlight reel play of his collegiate career for the Howard Bison.

With Howard blowing out Morehouse College in the fourth quarter, 23-0, the Bison chose to give some of their starters an early rest. That meant playing time for underclassmen like James.

James, a freshman running back, made the most of his first carry at the college level.

With Howard near midfield, James took a handoff and methodically made his way to the edge before jetting down the sidelines for a 56-yard touchdown.

Adding to the excitement, James' father was in the stands to witness his son's feat first-hand.

At 5-for-10, 180 pounds, James is a tad smaller than his father. However, watching James' touchdown on Saturday, it's easy to compare their running styles.

James graduated from Treasure Coast High School with a three-star rating, according to rivals.com. He closed out his senior year posting 2,021 yards and 28 touchdowns for the Titans.
