The only running back in BU history to lead the Terriers in rushing all four seasons, Jay Hillman ('92) earned the Department of Athletics' Mickey Cochrane Award as the top male athlete in the spring of 1992. During his senior campaign, he became just the fifth individual in program history to reach the 1,000-yard milestone in a single season with 1,057 total yards on 213 carries.

A native of Oxford, Conn., he saved his best for last at UConn in a thrilling 29-26 victory. Standing 6-foot-0, he totaled the second most yards ever in a game with 230 against the Huskies on 35 carries en route to First Team All-New England and Second Team All-Conference honors.

Hillman, the first freshman to lead BU in rushing since records began being kept in 1949, ranks second all-time in rushing attempts (675), third in rushing yards (2,889) and tied for third all-time in touchdowns (26). The two-time BU MVP also earned All-Conference Second Team accolades as a junior after earning 721 yards on 169 attempts with nine touchdowns.
