Noah Venable ran himself to the top of the state rushing leaderboard with a 289-yard effort last week against East Hall. That gives him 1,042 rushing yards in five games. He is the first Georgia back to crack 1,000 yards this season.
Venable is about to be at the top of Jackson County's record books, too. He is 304 yards short of the school's career rushing record held by Odell Collins. (Collins, coincidentally, was recognized this week by GHSF Daily as the best player in the school's history.)
Venable has rushed for 2,423 yards in his career. He holds the single-season record of 1,381, set last year.
"Noah is a 6-1, 205-pound running back who is physical, shifty and has excellent vision," Jackson County coach Brandon Worley said. "He is the epitome of a true team player who gives perfect effort. We also have a very solid offensive line with experience which does an outstanding job of controlling the line of scrimmage. Together, they understand the physicality necessary to establish a quality running game and truly believe in Jackson County's brand of football - effort, attitude, toughness."
Venable has not made a college choice. He has visited Pikeville, Reinhart and Point University. Other schools are recruiting him.
