Kelvin Taylor needed 14 games and 259 carries to become the 11th Florida Gators running back to surpass 1,000 yards in a season. Junior College transfer Mark Thompson believes he can become the twelfth, which isn’t a revelation, but Thompson believes he’ll only need seven games to add his name to that illustrious list.
“It’s realistic definitely for sure,” Thompson responded when asked about his lofty goal. “If I’m doing the right thing, coming to practice working, coming to the games working harder, than yeah it’s realistic.”
Thompson, originally from La Mott, Pennsylvania spent the last two years Dodge City Community College in Kansas.
