Jaxon Wilson's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
On Friday, Palm Harbor University had to settle for second even though Jaxon Wilson put up the best numbers he has all season. Wilson rushed for 180 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 100 or more in the last three games he's played.
Wilson is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Dunedin on Friday. Wilson rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries the last time he and the Falcons duked it out back in November of 2023.
