Justice Hill’s freshman All-American season in 2016 was only a glimpse of what he would produce in 2017.

The stellar talent from Booker T. rushed for 1,347 yards, 14 touchdowns, and added 191 yards and a score through the air as OSU’s leading rusher this season, garnering praise from near and far as one of the best rock-toters in the game.

“I’d like for somebody to show me a better running back than five,” said Gundy earlier this season. “Anywhere. I’m just saying. He’s pretty good. I can say it for him. He’s not going to say it. He’s too humble, and he doesn’t hardly talk.”

It gets lost in the shuffle but No. 5 did it with volume and efficiency, racking up 245 attempts with a clean 5.5 yards per carry average that (so far) matches his stellar freshman year and puts him in the conversation among some of the OSU greats in that category since 2000.
