3000 rushing yards and 48 TDs in a high school season. That is F'n nuts. I was thinking that was a typo.

Yeah....kid started out at UK, then transferred. He had a good season as a reserve against SEC competition his lone season with any real playing time there. I don't remember the reason he transferred, but he is a good back, and can catch the ball out of the backfield as well. Played his high school ball in Tennessee, and it isn't a typo.
