2023: Carson-Newman's leading rusher in 2023, Ferguson carried the ball 87 times for 418 yards and a score.  He averaged 38.0 yards per game and 4.8 yards per carry.  Ferguson found the end zone against Lenoir-Rhyne (Sep. 23).  His top game on the ground came at Newberry (Sep. 30) when he rushed eight times for 86 yards. Included in that was a 65-yard rush that set up C-N's go-ahead score in the Eagles' first win at Newberry in 13 years.  Ferguson also caught five passes for 35 yards with a long reception of 17 yards.  

HIGH SCHOOL: Ferguson attended Rockmart High School, where he played football, basketball and track competitively. As a senior, he started every game and led the team in rushing yards, accumulating 862 yards and 12 touchdowns on 92 carries. His performance earned him recognition as a GACA All-State Recruit and Georgia All-State Honorable Mention, as well as being selected as First Team All-Region RB in 7AA. Throughout his high school career, his team achieved success, winning the Region Championship four times and making four playoff appearances, reaching the Elite 8 in his senior year.

PERSONAL:The son of Brittany & Lazarius Peek and Derek Darden, Ferguson plans to major in accounting in college. He was a member of the National Honors Society in high school.
