After featuring extensively on the reality television show “Last Chance U”, John Franklin III was ready to showcase his talents for the Auburn Tigers football program.

Through the first four games of the 2016 season, it’s been a bit of a slog for the junior college transfer. Franklin III has been used sporadically in run-heavy packages, and hasn’t quite been able to display his immense physical ability…until today.

During Saturday’s contest versus Louisiana-Monroe, Franklin III bolted down the field for a 80-yard score. He called his own number and perfectly executed on a zone-read option play. Franklin III kept the ball and scooted away from the entire defense en rout to the end zone.

It was his first touchdown for head coach Gus Malzahn’s team.
