It’s not all on Justin Jackson’s shoulders anymore. Well, that’s not really true – the Northwestern rushing king has not, and will not, be dethroned this season (if ever). However, his protégé Jeremy Larkin has shown early signs of Jackson’s patient yet quick style. Lately, Larkin has shown the running back position will be left in good hands when Jackson is gone next season. Although he hasn’t matched Jackson’s freshman year statistics, Larkin has 284 yards and 3 touchdowns on 57 carries thus far in his redshirt freshman season.
