Ohio State houses some of the best players in the country this season, who will feature in the NFL someday as icons. However, there’s one name that’s caught some attention, which is exactly the same as that of an NFL legend. Budding RB Bo Jackson clearly reminds everyone of his namesake, multi-sport icon Vincent Edward “Bo” Jackson.

The two don’t just share names; they are also both running backs, further fueling talks of a family link. But there is actually no link between the two. The OSU RB was born Lamar Jackson Jr. and was nicknamed Bo. The latter eventually found its way into his name. This brings yet another obvious similarity, but he is also not related to the Ravens star. The freshman RB is currently playing the biggest game of the season and has already created a huge impact.
He’s a freshman, folks!
Bo Jackson’s big run puts No. 1 Ohio State deep in Michigan territory.
