Healthy and at Home, Felix Looks to Show The Talent That Made Him a Coveted Back

There's no mystery about what junior running back Darrian Felix can accomplish for the USF Bulls.

"I run away from people,'' Felix said.

"No question, he can take it to the house,'' Bulls running backs coach Cam Aiken said.

But after three mostly unfulfilling seasons at Oregon, what Felix wanted most was to come home.

He needed to be closer to his nearly 2-year-old daughter Dailyn Nicole, who lives with her mother in Fort Myers. He'll truly be a happy man if he can avoid the injuries that limited him to just three games after transferring to USF in 2020, while seeing his daughter regularly,

"I really feel like if I can stay healthy, I'll have it all,'' said Felix, 5-foot-11 and hovering near 200 pounds (about 18 more than he carried last season).
