Rider readies for Redblacks as family tackles Florence
As tropical storm Florence hammers North Carolina, Takoby Cofield is getting ready to hammer the Redblacks defensive line.
The born and raised North Carolinian and Roughrider offensive lineman is keeping close tabs on home as most of his immediate and extended family is still in Florence’s path.
The last time he spoke with them was Friday morning.
“The power’s out, it’s been raining for probably the last two days but they’re prepared for it,” Cofield said. “(We’ve) been through a few hurricanes, lived through a couple so they’re prepared.”
