His name is Ronald Jones II and he now owns both of USC’s school records for freshmen rushing yards.

After breaking LenDale White’s single-game rushing record against Arizona three weeks ago, Jones eclipsed Charles White’s mark for yards in a season by a freshman today against UCLA.

Jones entered the game needing just 32 yards to tie White, and it took him just six carries.

Charles White set his record of 858 yards by a freshman in 1976 for the Trojans, when he was part of a two-headed backfield with Heisman Trophy runner-up Ricky Bell. White would go on to set the career yardage mark at USC, which still stands today at 6,245 yards.

Going into today’s game with the Bruins, Jones ranked second in the Pac-12 among freshmen with 827 yards to his name. Washington’s Myles Gaskin leds all first-year players in the conference with 1,121 yards going into Saturday, though he had reached that mark with 79 more carries than Jones.

Jones’s emergence as a key contributor in the USC offense has come at a crucial time for the Trojans, as senior Tre Madden has been limited for much of the season with a knee injury. The same thing happened two years ago, when a Madden toe injury paved the way for Buck Allen to break out as a star running back.

Now with both freshman records to his name, Jones is statistically the best freshman running back in USC history. That’s a huge title to hold, given the Trojans’ long history of great tailbacks.
