Just like anyone would, Troy freshman wide receiver Tray Eafford expressed delight after scoring his first collegiate touchdown against Georgia Southern Saturday.
Unlike some others, Eafford’s jubilation is the result of a long and arduous process that perhaps delayed the celebration by one year.
Eafford graduated from Lee County High in Leesburg, Ga., in 2016 – fully expecting to contribute to the Trojans’ squad last year. He was a three-star prospect, according to 247Sports, thanks to some top-end speed that today makes him one of the two fastest players on the team, according to head coach Neal Brown.
