In just his second season in the Bluegrass, Benny Snell Jr. has rewritten the Kentucky football record book. The powerful, persistent running back fought for every single yard, no matter the circumstance. A player fans are proud to call their own accomplished feats few at Kentucky have ever done before him.
Snell finished the season with 1,318 yards and 18 touchdowns on 256 carries, good for 5.15 yards per career and 109.8 yards per game. Snell led the SEC in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, a feat only three other UK running backs have accomplished since 1956: Artose Pinner (2002), Moe Williams (1995) and Sonny Collins (1973).
