In recent weeks, we here at Inside NU have talked a lot about Justin Jackson’s ascent up the record book. Here are all of his current records.
Rushing Yards (5,139)
Northwestern History: 1st.
Active Players: 2nd. Seems unlikely he will catch Royce Freeman, who is 360 yards ahead of him, with both having 2 games left.
Big Ten History: 5th, literally 1 yard behind Montee Ball and 160 yards behind Anthony Thompson, became the second B1G running back with 1,000 yards in four seasons other than Dayne last week
Major Conference History: 11th, closest to Ball, Thompson, and Herschel Walker (120 yards behind), 9th player ever to have 1,000 yards in four season.
