Kentucky sophomore RB Benny Snell already setting school rushing records

Benny Snell Jr.  is having a remarkable career with the Kentucky Wildcats.

Snell is just a sophomore but he is already climbing his way through the record book at Kentucky. He has already eclipsed the 100-yard mark against Vanderbilt to go with two more touchdowns to his credit. He also has a catch for 20 yards against the Commodores.

Snell eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the season against Vanderbilt and etched his name into the Wildcats record book in the process. He now has 1,000 yards in back-to-back season and is the only player in Kentucky history to do so.

Even more impressive, Snell has already broken Kentucky’s career mark for rushing touchdowns with 27. Snell entered the game with 25 rushing touchdowns. His second touchdown of the game put him ahead of Sonny Collins and Moe Williams who held the previous career high of 26.
