He’s the first all-conference running back for the Idaho Vandals in 17 years

Idaho senior running back Aaron Duckworth left his mark on the Sun Belt Conference in the Vandals’ final season as an FBS program.

Duckworth led the conference with 1,025 rushing yards, and he was the only player in the league this season to eclipse 1,000 yards on the ground. He is the first Vandal to lead the league in rushing since Joel Thomas paced the Big West in 1996 — the program’s first FBS season.

The Orange Park, Fla., native is also the first Idaho running back to earn first-team all-conference recognition since Willie Alderson in 2000.
