Donnel Pumphrey: #2 all-time NCAA rushing leader and grappling for #1

Tough-as-nails, five-foot-nine, 180-lb Donnel Pumphrey has passed Ricky Williams and now stands as the NCAA’s no.2 all-time rushing leader. Ricky Williams, who has been cast in bronze and immortalized at the University of Texas, was the all-time rushing leader until Ron Dayne of Wisconsin passed his record just a few years later. Fast forward seventeen years, and our prolific Aztec now has Dayne’s record in range.

There is only one number floating around in Donnel’s head right now: 108. With that exact number of yards, Donnel Pumphrey passes the NCAA’s leading all-time rusher, and hurls himself deeper into the echelons of college football immortality.
