When I saw RB Landon Sims I immediately thought of Travis Sims, and sure enough he's the son of Travis. Travis was a beast of a runner for Hawaii in 1992, with 220 rushes for 1,498 yards and 9 TDs, an excellent 6.8 yards per rush. He also played some as a freshman and junior, finishing with 2,311 yards and a 6.3 average per carry.

His reward was to be completely ignored by the NFL. I checked Pro Football Reference and Sims has no stats, which means he didn't even get the time honored treatment given White RBs of being kicked from team to team for several years before being out of the league for good.

The best I could find was this short clip of the 1992 Holiday Bowl, in which Hawaii defeated Illinois 27-17. Sims had two TD runs in that game, shown near the end of the video, and 113 rushing yards. Hopefully Landon has a solid career and makes the NFL.
