The two schools are located in Massachusetts.

“I’m just humbled and grateful. Breaking the record is something I never imagined coming into today,” Quinn said, via the school’s website. “The O-line was dominating all game, receivers were blocking like crazy, and coaches put us in position to make plays. This belongs to all of us. I just happened to be the one carrying the ball.”

Curry College head coach Todd Parsons called the running back’s accomplishment “nothing short of amazing.”

“Breaking the NCAA rushing record is a monumental achievement,” he added.

Quinn became the first player to rush for at least 500 yards in a game as well as setting the record for most rushing yards in a single NCAA game at any level. 

Heidelberg’s Cartel Brooks previously held the Division III record when he ran for 465 yards in 2013. Former Oklahoma Sooners running back Samaje Perine holds the Division I FBS record with 427 yards in 2014.
