SAN DIEGO — Encased in glass on the ground floor of San Diego State’s athletics facility is a jersey honoring the finest football player in school history: Marshall Faulk, a Heisman Trophy finalist in 1992 and still the program’s career leader in rushing yards, attempts and touchdowns.
Faulk can be found again one floor above, in an office belonging to offensive coordinator and running backs coach Jeff Horton. Scattered throughout Horton’s office are pictures and news clippings related to past running backs who have found success here with the Aztecs, with a sign of the wall asking: Who’s going to be next?
