Buckeyes, the Bo Jackson ball carrier, leads the whole real first year in an important metric

At the start of this season, it seems that the ohio state buckeyes found a long -term stallion in the ball carrier.

The real recruit Bo Jackson is an excellent start to a collegial career, winning the highest PFF of all the real first -year students this season. It is currently noted at 91.0.

Jackson was a four -star recruit leaving high school. Leaving Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School in Cleveland, he was considered the 11th best runner in the country.

Jackson was not even the highest recruited from Ohio State, with the honor going to the 4th hope classified Anthony Rogers. It is clear that Jackson impressed at the moment when he walked on campus, winning a chance to contribute his first year season.

Jackson did not play in the first week against Texas, but since then it has been an electrical threat to Buckeyes.

During his first match against Grambling State, Jackson wore the ball nine times for 108 yards and a touchdown, with an average of 12 yards per postponement.

Then against Ohio, he did the same thing, with an average of 12 meters the postponement. This time, he took nine races for 109 yards. He also caught two passes for 21 yards.

Buckeyes are currently running a three -time committee, dividing time between Jackson, CJ Donaldson and James Peoples.

Despite the fewer races of all backs, 18 years old, Jackson is the main rusher of the team at 217 yards.

Donaldson has the most races for buckeyes this season at 33 and has run for 151 yards and two affected. It had an average of 4.6 yards per porting this season. Peoples wore the ball 25 times on 126 yards, with an average of about 5 meters per race. He has not yet marked a hit this season.

The Ohio State did a good job by working with each race back according to the situation and the match this season. Donaldson, who is a great power runner, was the guy on the first downs and in the Redzone packages. Peoples offered more value in the passage game and was a secondary grinding option behind Donaldson. Jackson was a beautiful rotation piece to transform small holes into madness races on the ground.

Jackson will have to prove a few things before he can win the title RB1. He must prove to be a more coherent threat in the passage attack, including as a pass blocker, while proving that he can remain healthy during a long Big Ten calendar.

Over the season, Jackson should expect to see his litters continue to increase. Buckeyes will probably direct the three half-courses throughout the season, but with Jackson on average more than 12 yards per race, it seems that the head coach of Ryan Day and the offensive coordinator Brian Hartline will want to see what he can do with more coherent representatives.
