A second-team All-Big Ten honoree by the media and coaches, Redd finished the regular season with 1,188 rushing yards, good for No. 12 on Penn State's season list. He needs 49 yards in Penn State's TicketCity Bowl clash with No. 19 Houston to move into 10th place. Evan Royster (1,236 in 2008) and Curtis Enis (1,210 in 1996) rank No. 10 and 11.
A U.S. Army All-American for Coach Dan Gouin at King Low Heywood Thomas School, Redd ended the regular season No. 4 in the Big Ten Conference at 99.0 ypg (1,188 yds, 5.2 avg.) with seven rushing touchdowns. He was limited by collarbone/sternum injury final three games of season but is expected to be 100 percent for the game with Houston.
Redd led all Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) players with 703 rushing yards in October, including five consecutive 100-yard games. He is the first Nittany Lion with five consecutive 100-yard games since All-American Curtis Enis in 1997. Redd gained career-high 164 yards on just 18 carries (9.1) in Penn State's 34-24 win at Northwestern on Oct. 22. He gained 137 yards on career-high 30 carries and scored the game-winning touchdown vs. Illinois one week later.
Redd has the Nittany Lions' two longest runs of the season, 42 yards, in wins at Northwestern and Ohio State.
In his first year as Penn State's starting tailback, Redd is the 12th different Penn State player to post 1,000 yards rushing in a season (20 times overall). The Nittany Lions have had a 1,000-yard rusher in each of the past seven seasons.
