TROJAN SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON ** DJ ABNAR **

DJ Abnar avoids a tackle by a Rickards defender in their match up at Gene Cox Stadium

Derrington "DJ" Abnar is an explosive running back that will blow you away with the how fast he hits the hole, and his speed once he gets into the open field. He is a north/south runner who spends very little time dancing around, and the coaches love that about him. He runs hard. He runs fast. He runs fearless. His 5'9" 175 frame is solid and his vision 20/20. We caught up with DJ to see how his recruiting was going.
