On Saturday Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson became the third player in FBS history to throw for 50 touchdowns and rush for 50 touchdowns in their career.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, Jackson joined an exclusive group that also includes former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and former Nevada signal-caller Colin Kaepernick.

Jackson entered Saturday's TaxSlayer Bowl against Mississippi State with 49 career rushing scores, but he hit the 50 mark with a 13-yard scamper in the second quarter.

The junior from Pompano Beach, Florida, won the Heisman Trophy last season by virtue of throwing for 3,543 yards, 30 touchdowns and nine interceptions to go along with 1,571 rushing yards and 21 rushing scores.
