Top 10 all-time leading rushers in Virginia HS football
2. O.J. Thomason, William Byrd (1996-99)
Perhaps a forgotten high school legend given his post-prep career, Thomason once ruled Virginia鈥檚 rushing record for nearly two decades. As the star running back for the Terriers, Thomason accumulated 7,536 yards and 77 touchdowns during his high school career.
Unfortunately for Thomason, that would be the highlight of his time on the gridiron. He would drop out of Butler Community College and was later convicted on drug charges, never living up to the record-breaking hype of his high school days.
