powerful Gardner-Webb back with proven high-school production
Dee Littlejohn was a 6-foot-1, 225-pound running back from Lincolnton, North Carolina, who arrived at Gardner-Webb with a bruising, physical profile and strong prep production—he rushed for 1,045 yards and 23 touchdowns as a junior, then topped 100 yards in each of his final 11 high-school games[7]. He also ran for 115 yards and two scores in the state title game, which says a lot about his toughness and big-game temperament[7]. His appeal is simple: downhill power, workload durability, and an edge that fits teams wanting a tone-setting runner[7].
