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.

ESPN Article

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

Correct answer is Wayne Jones, Mississippi State, 1973 season.
That was getting close to the arrival of LSU fans favorite State player of all-time.

Going to have to guess Musso isn't included because the didn't hit 1000 yards in the regular season?

White or not, Hester was great because he was so farking tough. If we needed someone to go out there and pound heads for two yards, that SOB was going to pound out two yards. I will never forget Hester against Florida in 2007. Legendary.

Possibly because the post refers to white SEC running backs

Are we keeping stats by color now may be the point of down votes
