Evander Holyfield's son making his own name on the gridiron.

Elijah Holyfield announced his presence to the high school football world in a big way last weekend.

The son of former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield scored seven touchdowns in Woodward Academy's season-opening victory over Decatur.

On Friday, Woodward Academy (College Park, Ga.) defeated visiting St. Plus X Catholic 42-21, and Holyfield had racked up 160 yards and two more touchdowns with six minutes left in the game.
