Tribal citizen Billy Atkins threw for 181 yards and a touchdown in his first start since 2022, leading James Madison University to the program's first bowl win after topping Western Kentucky 27-17 on Wednesday night in the Boca Raton Bowl.

JMU was without starting quarterback Alonza Barnett III, who suffered an injury against Marshall on Nov. 30, and the Dukes turned to Atkins, who had just three pass attempts in the last two years.

Billy is the son of son to Bill and Sheryl Atkins. Congratulations to Billy and the JMU Dukes!
