Ohio State freshman running back Lamar Jackson Jr., known as Bo Jackson, is making waves with 835 rushing yards and a 6.5-yard average in his debut season. Though not related to the legendary Bo Jackson, he adopted the nickname in tribute and excels in football, baseball, and track. A four-star recruit from Cleveland, he played at Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School, the same school as Michigan’s Desmond Howard. His performance in the upcoming Ohio State-Michigan rivalry game is highly anticipated.
