Biakabutuka left the former Zaire with his family for Canada when he was four years old, settling in the Montreal area, where his family still lives. He did not play Canadian football until his high school in Longueuil organized a team. After grade 11, he attended CEGEP at Vanier College, where his football exploits earned him the nickname "Touchdown Tim" and earned him a scholarship to play college football at the University of Michigan. ^[1]

Biakabutukua is perhaps best known for his 313-yard rushing effort against Ohio State in 1995, which helped Michigan upset the previously-undefeated Buckeyes. His performance against Ohio State was the ranks as the second highest single-game performance in U-M history, as follows:

Rank	Name	Attempts	Net Yds	Yds/Att	Year	Opponent
1	Ron Johnson	31	347	11.2	1968	Wisconsin
2	Tim Biakabutuka	37	313	8.5	1995	Ohio State
3	Jon Vaughn	32	288	9.0	1990	UCLA
4	Ron Johnson	26	270	10.4	1967	Navy
5	Butch Woolfolk	39	253	6.5	1981	Michigan State

^[2]

That season, Biakabutuka rushed for 1,818 yards, still the single-season Michigan record, as follows:

Rank	Name	Attempts	Net Yds	Yds/Att	Year
1	Tim Biakabutuka	303	1818	6.0	1995
2	Anthony Thomas	319	1733	5.4	2000
3	Jamie Morris	282	1703	6.0	1987
4	Chris Perry	338	1674	5.0	2003
5	Mike Hart	318	1562	4.9	2006

^[3]

During his career in the NFL, Biakabutukua was often injured. He never played more than 12 games in a season or racked up more than 173 carries or 718 yards.^[4] As a member of the Panthers, Biakabutuka set an NFL record as the only running back to record two touchdown runs of 60 or more yards in the same game.

Biakabutukua currently resides in Charlotte, North Carolina and owns two jewelry stores (a chain called Beya), which offer Christian-themed jewelry that he designs. ^[5]
