Schrader is one of only three white running backs in the SEC to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark over the past 50 years, making his odyssey even more unusual. The other two were Jacob Hester from LSU's 2007 national championship team and Mississippi State's Wayne Jones in 1973. Schrader is the first white back to lead the SEC in rushing since Alabama's Johnny Musso did it in 1970 and 1971.

Interesting commentary in the article about how teams "missed" on Schrader in high school because no one wanted a white running back.
