The senior running back broke Northwestern’s all-time rushing yards record against Maryland on Saturday with a four-yard carry. The run pushed his career total past Damien Anderson’s 4485 career yards, racked up from 1997 to 2000.
Jackson’s career at Northwestern has been nothing short of spectacular, even if he’s spent much of it out of the national spotlight. He’s been one of the most consistent performers over the past three-and-a-half seasons and one of the most reliable running backs in college football history.
His journey into immortality started in 2014, when as a true freshman, Jackson debuted for Northwestern against Cal.
