Hull led all FBS running backs with 54 receptions and was second amongst all Big Ten receivers with 483 yards after the catch in his final season at Northwestern in 2022. He finished the season with 913 rushing yards and a career-best 546 receiving yards.
Hull was only the 16th player since 2000 to average over 75 rushing yards and 45 receiving yards a game over an entire season, most recently done by Travis Etienne and Saquon Barkley.
