Reginald Alfred Bush II -
Born: March 2, 1985 in San Diego, California.

At USC Reggie Bush was nicknamed "The President" due to the American President with a similar family name at that time.

He played running back/tailback, wide receiver, and punt and kickoff returner for the team.

A hard working skill player, Bush has homerun hitting speed and can produce in a variety of ways. May not be a back for everyone due to limited size yet can be very productive in a friendly scheme.

Had a school record 2,890 total yards. Rushed for 1,740 yards on 200 carries, for an eye-popping 8.7 yards per carry and 16 touchdowns. Gained over 100 yards eight times during 2005. Bush added 37 catches for 478 yards and two touchdowns for an average of 12.9 yards per reception. Also averaged 17.6 yards on 28 returns for 493 yards. Named first-team All-American by the Associated Press and many others. Bush's eighteen touchdowns came after plays averaging 31.4 yards.

Bush's selection by the New Orleans Saints in the NFL draft generated excitement and celebration among New Orleans Saints fans. By the end of the week after the draft, Reebok reported receiving over 15,000 orders for Bush's Saints jersey, even though his jersey number with the Saints had not yet been determined.

Bush's rookie season had both ups and downs, although as the season wore on, he became more productive and integral to the Saints' surprising success. In the first game of Bush's NFL career, he amassed 141 total yards against the Cleveland Browns.
