How Elko, reunion with little league teammates landed 'Tiger' with Texas A&M

DeSoto running back Deondrae Riden first took the name 'Tiger' as a six-year old from his little league football coach. 

But Tiger became 'Robo Tiger' for DeSoto in 2023. Riden dislocated his elbow in game one and only received 18 carries in the final three games of the regular season as DeSoto reacclimated him to game speed. In the playoffs, he donned a full arm brace on his right arm and ran for over 100 yards in five of DeSoto's six playoff games en route to a second-straight state championship.
