Quarterback Reuben Haynes did something in the 2007 season that no other Tiger player has ever done. He gained over 1000 yards both rushing and passing in a single season.
In his senior season which was one with a (6-5-0) record, Haynes time and again carried the Tiger team on his back offensively. In three games during his senior season, he had over 200 yards rushing and in four he had over 100 en route to a total of 1539 rushing yards as the Tigers used the Spread Option attack.
As a passer he had four games of over 100 yards passing and a season total in 2007 of 1350 yards gained along with eight TD passes.
In his career, he was one of the most prolific offensive producers in Tiger history with 6501 yards of total offense in his three years as a starter for the Commerce Tigers ranking him second only to Monte’ Williams total of over 9000 yards in his career as a Tiger.
