Newport Central Catholic all time rushing leader

Who leads New Cath history in rushing? They have a history of good backs

I believe Kyle Kellys brother.

1. Steve Everson (1998-2001) 5,633 yards

2. Jacob Smith (2012-15) 4,332 yards

3. Chris Kelly (2007-10) 4,232 yards

Thank you! Any idea how many Kyle Kelly has?

I think 1,983 going into this year.

Year G Car Yds TD

No idea if he played any as a freshman since no stats posted for NCC for 2015

2016 12 152 821 14

2017 12 196 1162 13

24 348 1983 27

Did Everson play for University of Florida?

I don’t know who I was thinking of then. Way off haha

Just remember they throw the ball WAY more now than when Everson was running the ball. Obviously he was a great back but his numbers would be lower (like may RBs of those day) playing today.

Everson was really good and his attempts are far more than anyone's for sure.

Also throw in that NewCath ran the triple option out of the wishbone for about 20 years and you have fewer carries for some really great athletes in the late 70s-mid 90s.

It's sure sucked for the WR's......

Yes. Back when NCC was playing in the GCL, and doing quite well I might add, there were a lot of guys splitting carries that could have been on this list.

1. Steve Everson (1998-2001) 5,633 yards

2. Jacob Smith (2012-15) 4,332 yards

3. Chris Kelly (2007-10) 4,232 yards

Not surprisingly, here are the top three in rushing attempts:

1. Steve Everson (1998-2001) 1,015 attempts

2. Jacob Smith (2012-15) 721 attempts

3. Chris Kelly (2007-10) 663 attempts

Interestingly, #4 on the rushing attempts list is QB Brady Hightchew with 583 attempts.
