In the Buckeyes' championship-winning season, Henderson racked up 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns on 144 carries, while adding 284 yards and a touchdown on 27 receptions.

#4. Mason Taylor, TE, LSU

Taylor posted 546 yards and touchdowns on 55 receptions in his final season with the Tigers.

#5. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
