Contents

High school career

London originally attended Bryant High School in Bryant, Arkansas, a suburb of Little Rock. He led the Hornets to a conference title while rushing for 969 yards and 13 touchdowns as a freshman. [1] [2]

London transferred to St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for his final two years. [3] As a senior he rushed for 871 yards and 16 touchdowns, earning Sun-Sentinel second-team all-Broward County honors and an invitation to the 2014 Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl. [4]

Recruiting

London was considered a four-star recruit by Rivals, [5] and a three-star recruit by 247Sports and ESPN. [6] [7] Rivals also ranked him as the 17th best running back in the nation. [5] He received over two dozen offers, ultimately committing to Michigan State in November 2013. [8]

College career

Michigan State

London played for the Michigan State Spartans from 2014 to 2017, rushing for 924 yards and eight touchdowns while serving a complimentary role behind LJ Scott. [9] He redshirted the 2014 season as the backfield included seniors Jeremy Langford and Nick Hill. [9]

In 2015, London recorded 119 carries for 500 yards and three touchdowns, ranking third on the team in both categories. [4] After impressing in the preseason scrimmages, he was moved to the top of the depth chart by coach Mark Dantonio. [10] London ran for 59 yards and two touchdowns in his collegiate debut against Western Michigan. [11] The following week, he rushed for a game-high 103 yards on 18 attempts in a 31–28 win over #7 Oregon, including a career-long 62-yard run on their opening drive. [12] London started the first six games before spraining his ankle against Rutgers, forcing him to miss the next three games. [13] He rushed for just 101 yards for the remainder of the reason, [13] but that did include a 60-yard-performance against Iowa in the Big Ten Championship Game. [14]

In 2016, London played offensive snaps in just seven games, with sophomore LJ Scott and junior Gerald Holmes taking most of the load at running back. [9] London recorded 28 carries for 120 yards and two touchdowns in his limited role. [9] In his best game that season, he ran for 52 yards and two touchdowns against Rutgers. [15] The Spartans won just three games. [16]

In 2017, London had 83 carries for 304 yards and three touchdowns. He ran for 127 yards in the spring game, eclipsing his previous season's total yardage. [17] In the season opener against Bowling Green, he had 10 carries for 54 yards and a touchdown. [18] He ran for 59 yards and caught a touchdown at #7 Michigan, [19] then rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown the following week at Minnesota. [20] The Spartans beat Washington State 42–17 in the Holiday Bowl to finish with a 10–3 record. [21] [22]

Tennessee

After graduating from Michigan State with his sociology degree in May 2018, London joined Tennessee as a graduate transfer. [23] [24] He was recruited in part by then-offensive quality control assistant Montario Hardesty, himself a former Tennessee and Cleveland Browns running back. [3] In his lone season with the Volunteers, London recorded 206 yards and three touchdowns on 42 attempts, averaging a career-best 4.9 yards per carry, under head coach Jeremy Pruitt. [25] [26]

London contributed two touchdowns in their 59–3 blowout of East Tennessee State, [27] then ran for a season-high 74 yards on just nine carries the following week against UTEP. [28] In their SEC opener against Florida, he had 11 carries for 66 yards and a touchdown. [29] However, London's role decreased drastically after that, recording just nine carries over the last eight games. [30] He was selected to play in the SPIRAL Tropical Bowl at the conclusion of the season. [30]

After going undrafted in the 2019 NFL draft, London signed with the Alphas of The Spring League on October 17, 2020. [32] [33] He rushed for 61 yards on 16 carries in their week two victory over the Conquerors, [34] but that would be his final game with the team as their next game was forfeited and the remainder of the 2020 Fall season was cancelled amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. [35] [36]

FCF

London then joined the inaugural 2021 Fan Controlled Football season, a new league run by fan decisions where players are drafted to new teams every week. [37] He had 13 carries for 41 yards and three receptions for 23 yards in the four-game season. [38]

[41] In their week three victory over the Leipzig Kings, London recorded 348 yards and four touchdowns. [42] He only ran for 85 yards in the next game against the Frankfurt Galaxy, but surpassed the 1,000-yard mark on the season in just four games. [43] In week 7, London once again earned weekly MVP honors for recording 320 yards and four touchdowns in their win against Wrocław. [44] He added 290 yards and four more touchdowns on the ground the following week against Barcelona. [45] After the Centurions' bye week, London earned his third weekly MVP award by recording 138 rushing yards, a rushing touchdown, and a receiving touchdown in their 19–9 home win against Stuttgart. He passed the 2,000-yard milestone in the game, giving his team a 5–4 record and securing a playoff berth. [46] London was rested, along with some other starters, in the regular season finale. [47] In nine regular-season games, he had 269 carries for 2,009 yards and 22 touchdowns, leading the league in all three categories. [48] The Centurions lost 36–6 to the Frankfurt Galaxy in their first playoff game, with London contributing 168 yards and a touchdown. [49] He was one of the four Americans selected to the All-Star team, [50] and was subsequently named the league's Most Valuable Player. [51] London would later be named to American Football International's 2021 All-Europe first team as a top running back in Europe. [52]

Pittsburgh Maulers

In September 2021, London re-signed with the Centurions for the 2022 season. [53] However, in April 2022, he joined the Pittsburgh Maulers of the United States Football League just a few weeks ahead of the league's inaugural season. [54] He was signed by the Maulers as a last-minute replacement for De'Veon Smith. [55] London led the Maulers in rushing yards for the 2022 season.

London re-signed with the Maulers on August 8, 2023. [56] The Maulers folded when the XFL and USFL merged to create the United Football League (UFL). [57]

Danube Dragons

In May 2024, London signed with the Danube Dragons of the Austrian Football League (AFL). [58] He made his team debut just a few days later, catching a touchdown pass in their 45–20 win over Guelfi Firenze  [ it ] in the second round of the Central European Football League (CEFL). [59] [60] In their next game, back in the AFL, London scored four touchdowns and a two-point conversion to lead the Dragons to a 43–39 victory over the Prague Black Panthers. [61] In his third game, the team faced their undefeated league rivals – the Vienna Vikings – in the Vienna derby; [62] London scored an 80-yard touchdown in the 21–17 loss. [63] A few days later, he scored two touchdowns to lead the Dragons to a 12–7 win over the French champions, the Thonon Black Panthers, in the CEFL semifinals. [64] In the CEFL Bowl XVIII, where Danube Dragons had 27–14 victory over the Calanda Broncos, London scored the first touchdown. [65]
