His longest rush was for an incredible 78 yards.

Rivera Made His Presence Known in South East's 48-30 Defeat
Edward Rivera posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 250 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.4 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 90-yard run.
If history really does repeat itself, Rivera might just drop another big game when he faces off against Roosevelt on Thursday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Rivera saw the Rough Riders), he rushed for 210 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.5 yards per carry.
