The accolades continue to come for rising sophomore Dedrick Mills. The star b-back for the Yellow Jackets offense has been racking up accolades over the past week as much as anyone in the nation. For Mills, it’s part of the journey for him of going national, after having a breakout year in his true freshman season.
Last season, Mills rushed for 771-yards and 12 touchdowns on 153-carries and lead the Yellow Jackets to a TaxSlayer Bowl victory over Kentucky. For Mills, it was just the beginning of what appears to be him breaking onto the national stage as one of the best running backs in the country.
