Will we ever see another 3K rushing season?
- Thread starter epicbret
- Start date
In a time where RPO offenses rule, very doubtful, I’d say highly unlikely. Would have to be a monster back in a run oriented offense. Someone like Jordan Anderson at JCA, healthy and for a full season.
How about Kaden Feagin from Arthur Lovington HS this year? Kid is a 4 star recruit and simply out classes kids at the 2A level. His film looks like him playing against a pee wee team.

He crossed my mind. It will have to be a team that leans on a stud a la JJ at Glenbard North, and also runs over competition.How about Kaden Feagin from Arthur Lovington HS this year?

He fits the bill for both a la Glatz from last year
He's outside of the top 20 that ends at a little over 2600 according to the IHSA site
Gotta average 215 ypg if you play 14 games!
Need 333 ypg if you only play 9 games.
Thats a huge ask of one kid, especially nowadays when the game is more RPO/Spread/Passing oriented.
If this was the 80s/90s/00s yes....today can't see it

I know it obviously is possible but how crazy would it be if a team had a back average 333 a game and they did not make the playoffs. They would have to have some bad beats and poor defense.
If it happens, it will be a once in a lifetime talent like Derick Henry or someone out of place at a small division school where he can rip off a few 350 yd games. I think at 8/7A, you are going to run into too many defenses that can at least keep you honest, even if you're a stud.
Hickey did it with 13 games - we could not find a week nine. He got kicked out of the EVILLE game in the first half and played all four quarters only twice.
Ty Issac was so close in 2010. If it weren't for Malin Jones!
Ty had 2630 and 51 TDs!
Jones had 1700 and 28 TDs!

Justin Jackson did it playing in only 11 games. That is mighty impressive.
I suppose anything is possible. You might get a great RB at a lower level. Not sure it would happen at an upper level because he might not get enough carries.
It's not like it was a common thing in the past. It has only happened 7 times in the last 125 years and only once prior to the year 2000.
I think this would only be feasible at a lower level. Most games if they have a 3k type back would probably be a blowout and their coaches would hopefully pull the plug. I bet the kid from Arthur could get 3k this year if his coaches ran him enough, but common sense/sportsmanship comes into play and he will get pulled.
I don't think I insinuate it is. I just think the possibility dwindles as the game changes.
In 2013 Ivlow played 12 games and had around 2200-2500 yards.
min 2018, hailey missed most of the title game and wound up with almost 2700. And that’s with 3-4 games being games where the Hill got smoked and where he had to share 1700 with ianantone.
point is that there are enough kids nibbling at 2400 to 2800 often enough that someone will hit 3000 in the state again for sure.
Any idea what Jaylon Bester‘s total yards were in 2016? Think he was over 300 with 5 TD’s vs Rochester.
No way it happens at MC, too much talent for one to dominate and the system spreads it so nicely.
Looked at the IHSA playoff info and championship box score. If right, he was around 2,100 yards. They had another running back that year with over 1,100 yards and a FB with almost 500 yards. I was at the playoff game vs SHG. JR was both big and very fast. JCA also had a TE who was already NFL size.

In 2000, JR ended around 2100 and Gruber topped 1000.
in 2001 JR had 2300 and Gruber around 1300.
Cayne Smith from east moline United averaged 238 per game during the 6 game spring covid season. He got better every game with the first game being his season low 155 yards and his last game the best with 347 yards against 3rd ranked sterling who only game up 68 ypg rushing. I would have loved to see a full season
Praire Ridge’s Vasey is laughing at this thread, it didn’t age very well.
8 tds rushing. Passing, I’m not sure. I only saw one pass for about 30 yards. No passing touchdowns
