One of only four OSU running backs - the others being Barry Sanders, Thurman Thomas and Terry Miller - to average at least 100 rushing yards per game in their respective careers (minimum 20 games).

One of 10 national semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award presented to the nation’s top running back and a first-team All-Big 12 honoree by both the coaches and the Associated Press ...

That mark led all FBS freshmen in 2016 and surpassed the OSU freshman rushing record set by Mike Hamilton in 2005 (961 yards) and the OSU true freshman season mark that was set by Thurman Thomas in 1984 (843 yards) ...

In addition to being the only OSU freshman to ever surpass 1,000 rushing yards in a season, he is the only freshman in school history to rush for 100 yards in six games ... No other Cowboy freshman has done it more than three times ... Even more impressive, all six of his 100-yard games came against Power Five conference opponents ... His six 100-yard rushing games were the second-most among all Big 12 players ...
