Ohio State freshman running back Bo Jackson, who has rushed for 835 yards and five touchdowns this season, was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week after a standout performance against Rutgers, where he carried 19 times for 110 yards and two touchdowns. Despite sharing a name with the legendary two-sport athlete Bo Jackson of Auburn, the Ohio State player is not related to him. Bo Jackson from Ohio, born Lamar Jackson Jr., is from Cleveland and was a multi-sport athlete in high school. He was rated as a four-star recruit and was offered by several top programs, including Auburn, where the elder Bo Jackson starred in the 1980s. Jackson has been a key contributor for Ohio State, leading the team in rushing and earning multiple weekly honors, including four Big Ten awards this season. He continues to impress as a rising star in college football.
