A RAMBUNCTIOUS LITTLE TROUBLEMAKER FROM BESSEMER, ALA., WHO GREW INTO A THREE-SPORT, ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION STAR IN HIGH SCHOOL, BO JACKSON BROUGHT HIS PRODIGIOUS TALENT TO AUBURN, WHERE HE REWROTE THE SEC RECORD BOOK AND HUMBLED THE CRIMSON TIDE
STILL HOLDS an SEC record with 6.6 yards per carry for his career. In '85 Jackson averaged 162.4 rushing yards a game—still an Auburn record.
WENT ON to play in the NFL (2,782 rushing yards in four seasons with the L.A. Raiders) and MLB (141 HRs and 82 stolen bases in eight seasons with the Royals, White Sox and Angels).
