Seven running backs in the history of NCAA Division 1 football have rushed for 1,000 or more yards in four seasons: Tyrell Fenroy (Louisiana-Lafayette), Denvis Manns (New Mexico State), Ron Dayne (Wisconsin), Tony Dorsett (Pittsburgh), Cedric Benson (Texas), Damion Fletcher (Souther Mississippi), and Amos Lawrence (UNC).
Reduce the list to Power 5 Conference teams and the list shrinks to 4: Dayne, Dorsett, Benson, and Lawrence. While he doesn’t quite have the name recognition that the other three do, Lawrence is arguably the best back in North Carolina history, showing up near the top of several records, including being UNC’s all-time leader in rushing attempts and yards.
