College Football's All-Time Leading Rushers

Ron Dayne put Wisconsin back on the college football map during a spectacular career in Madison. Between 1996 and 1999, the bruising Dayne ran all over opposing defenses, amassing 6,397 rushing yards to break the NCAA career rushing mark previously held by Texas' Ricky Williams.

Dayne's record was most recently challenged by Michigan's Mike Hart, who compiled 5,040 yards between 2004-2007.
