Saturday December 17, 2016 in the Las Vegas Bowl Donnel Pumphrey rushed for 115 yards in a 34-10 victory over the Houston Cougars. This made Pumphrey College Football's FBS Division's all-time leading rusher with 6,405 yards surpassing Ron Dayne’s old mark of 6,397 yards.

The record does come with a caveat: Dayne rushed for 728 yards over four bowl games in his career, but the NCAA doesn't credit those yards to his total because it didn't start counting bowl games toward records until 2002. Dayne played for the Badgers from 1996 to '99. His career rushing total including bowl games stands at 7,125 yards.

Over his four-year career at San Diego State Donnel rushed for 6,405 yards for a six yards per carry average and 62 touchdowns. He was also a receiving threat with 99 receptions for 1,039 total yards at a 10.5 yards per reception average and five receiving touchdowns; a skill the NFL appreciates!

Donnel is 5’9” and 180 pounds. He runs a 4.33 in the forty-yard dash and is projected to be the second running back taken in the 2017 NFL draft. Running backs will be in higher demand and will be drafted higher than in the past, this draft, due to Ezekiel Elliott’s success as a rookie for the Dallas Cowboys.
