Hebert finished the season with six 100-yard rushing games. The Fort Lauderdale native posted a season-best 207 rushing yards at Duke (10/10/20) as part of his record-breaking day that saw him accumulate 357 all-purpose yards.
A second-team All-ACC all-purpose honoree, he racked up 1,791 all-purpose yards to rank third in the nation (1,182 rushing yards, 179 receiving yards and 430 kickoff return yards). In addition, he was named to the ACC All-Academic Team.
