History has a funny way of repeating itself.
The best running back in Auburn history, as well as football in general, was a man named Bo Jackson. He rushed for 4,303 yards and 43 touchdowns for the Tigers from 1982-85. He capped his college career by winning the Heisman Trophy in 1985 after rushing for 1,786 yards and 17 scores.
Fast forward to 2024, and Auburn has yet again offered a running back named Bo Jackson.
Jackson, a 2025 four-star running back from Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School in Cleveland, Ohio, announced Tuesday on X (formerly Twitter) that he has received an offer from Auburn. The announcement delighted Auburn fans, many called it “destiny.”
Ohio State is the favorite to sign Jackson early on, but many SEC programs want to join the picture. Several SEC teams have joined Auburn by offering Jackson a scholarship since January such as South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Ole Miss.
Jackson’s recruitment will be one to keep an eye on. He is a four-star running back according to all four major recruiting services and is considered to be a top-five recruit from Ohio for the 2025 class.
