The junior is the nation's leading rusher.
Derrick Henry might be the baddest man running a football on the planet, and if you don’t believe it just turn on a Titans game and watch the big man rumble.He was a star at Alabama, but he was, truly, a legend at Yulee High School in Florida. And, it was there, that he put up some absolutely mind-boggling rushing numbers, eclipsing 12,000 yards and 150 scores in his career.But one Pa. running back — Oil City junior Ethen Knox — isn’t just touching one of Henry’s mind-boggling records.
Knox ran for 444 yards and four touchdowns on 54 carries Friday to lead Oil City to a 34-7 win over Conneaut Area. That puts Knox right at 3,000 yards — he has 2,957 — for the season. That makes him the nation’s leading rusher.But that 444-yard game helped him break his own record, a week after he surpassed Henry for most 400-yard rushing games. That’s Knox’s sixth 400-plus yard rushing game of the season.
