Keenan Reynolds Sets FBS Records for Most Career Touchdowns, QB Rushing Yards
Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds once again etched his name in the record books during Navy's matchup with Pittsburgh in the Military Bowl on Monday.
Reynolds set the FBS record for career rushing yards by a signal-caller with a 48-yard run in the third quarter on Monday, per Navy Athletics.
The run brought him up to 4,518 rushing yards for his career.
Reynolds, a senior, also broke the record for most career FBS rushing and receiving touchdowns combined with his 88th later on in the game, per SportsCenter.
Reynolds reaching more milestones comes as little surprise in a season where he reaffirmed his status as one of the most dynamic offensive weapons in college football. The quarterback led Navy to a 10-2 record and a bowl game, largely operating as a weapon in the run game while leading the team's potent triple-option attack.
He even became Navy's all-time leader in passing touchdowns despite operating such a run-heavy scheme.
But for Reynolds—who was lightly recruited out of high school as a quarterback—the records aren't what have defined his time at Navy, as he told Chris Low of ESPN.com:
"Everything worked out the way it should have. I've had an opportunity to play quarterback, and that's something I really wanted to do. To be able to have some success has been awesome, but nothing beats the relationships I've built here. I've always kind of been a loner, but I've met some of my best friends here, people I will never forget and people I will rely on the rest of my life.
"
It remains to be seen if Reynolds will continue his career in the NFL, though if he does, it will likely be as a running back. He accepted an invitation to the East-West Shrine Game as a running back, so it seems Reynolds wouldn't oppose the change if it meant a shot at the next level. He's certainly proved in college he's a major threat in the running game.
