UConn 303-pound DT Jelani Stafford scores 5th rushing TD of season

The big guy touchdown is usually celebrated for its rarity. For Uconn, it has become commonplace in 2023.

Jelani Stafford is listed as a 6-foot, 303-pound defensive lineman.

When the Huskies get near the goal line, Stafford becomes their go-to running back.

He had 3 touchdown runs coming into Saturday’s game at Rice. Midway through the third quarter, Stafford had his 4th and 5th scores.

The video below is one of the earlier TDs by Stafford. Coming into the Rice game, Stafford had half of UConn’s 6 rushing TDs.
