Derrick Henry Backs Indiana Senior Chasing His National High School Rushing Record

The Knox Community senior is roughly 1,100 yards from the mark after a 400-yard game with four playoff dates still ahead.

Overview

  • Myles McLaughlin of Knox Community High is about 1,100–1,121 yards shy of Derrick Henry’s 12,124-yard national rushing record, according to recent reports.
  • McLaughlin recently broke Indiana’s career rushing record after delivering a 400-yard performance in his last game.
  • Undefeated Knox could have up to four playoff games remaining, creating the runway for a potential record run this month.
  • Based on his recent workload and averages, projections suggest he could surpass the record within three games.
  • Henry publicly urged McLaughlin to “go break it” during a TV appearance, and reports note McLaughlin currently has no Division I scholarship offers.
