The former Texas Tech running back was once thought of as a middle round draft pick and was well on his way to breaking the 1,000-yard rushing mark in 2011. Unfortunately, he sustained an ACL and MCL tear in his left knee and returned to the roster about a step behind his former self in 2012.
He rushed for 480 yards and five touchdowns as a senior and demonstrated a lot of improvement from game one to the bowl game win against Minnesota.
