Already one of the most electric players around the league in the return game, Adu-Poku was a true workhorse as Walsh completed an impressive come-from-behind victory with less than a minute left in regulation.
Named a conference special teams player of the week as a freshman, the sophomore added offensive weekly accolades to his career resume to close out Week 11 and the regular season.
His rushing attempts and yardage totals against rival Malone both ranked in the top 10 in single-game conference history to give Walsh the traditional Dick Gallagher Memorial trophy.
The Cavaliers also closed to an even .500 record in the conference schedule in their first year under head coach John Fankhauser.
Adu-Poku carried the rock 32 times for 192 yards and a pair of touchdowns, all paramount in Walsh securing a 27-22 win. He averaged six yards per attempt and scored from 28 yards out for the first score of the game.
He also added a 1-yard scoring dive in the second quarter to capitalize an 11 play, 68-yard drive.
Adu-Poku was close to being a 1,000-yard rusher in 2018, finishing with a net gain of 929. He scored 11 touchdowns on the ground and was also Walsh’s top receiving option out of the backfield with 262 yards on 24 receptions.
