Derrick Henry Backs Indiana Star's Push to Break His High School Rushing Record

With four games left, Knox senior Myles McLaughlin is within roughly 1,100 yards of the 12,124-yard benchmark.

Overview

  • McLaughlin sits about 1,100–1,120 yards shy of Henry’s MaxPreps record of 12,124 career rushing yards.
  • The Knox Community High School senior is averaging 364.8 yards this season and, based on recent workload, projections suggest he could surpass the mark in as few as three games.
  • He recently ran for more than 400 yards and has five 400-plus-yard games this year, along with three additional 300-yard outings.
  • Henry publicly endorsed the chase on FanDuel TV’s Up and Adams, noting he has held the record for more than a decade and urging McLaughlin to go break it.
  • Despite his production and Indiana’s career rushing crown, McLaughlin reportedly does not yet hold a Division I scholarship offer.
