Former Auburn University standout Bo Jackson has been named the recipient of the 2014 PwC Doak Walker Legends Award.

The award was created in 1998 to honor former running backs who excelled at the collegiate level and went on to distinguish themselves as leaders in their communities.

Jackson was a two-time All-American and won the 1985 Heisman Trophy. In 1985, he for 1,786 yards, the fourth-best season in SEC history.

His 4,303 career rushing yards are the fourth-most in league history and his 43 career rushing touchdowns are sixth. Jackson also starred in baseball, batting .401 in 1985, and qualified for the NCAA Track and Field Championships in the 100-meter dash as a freshman and sophomore.

Jackson will accept his trophy at the Doak Walker Award Presentation Banquet on Feb. 27, 2015 in Dallas.
