Since the 2015 NCAA season, we all knew that former Penn State running back Saquon Barkley was going to be something special. As the number one recruit coming out of Pennsylvania, Penn State figured they were getting one of the best backs in the nation. However, Barkley took over the college world by storm. Though he only accounted for 1,076 yards and seven touchdowns during his debut year, we would soon find out why exactly he was the best recruit out of PA.
Barkley’s final two seasons at Penn State were outstanding. With over 1,800 scrimmage yards and 22 total touchdowns during his Sophomore effort, Barkley established himself as arguably the best all-around running back in the nation.
