Not sure if he is in the top 2, but Jamal Wilis ran for nearly 3,000...

and caught over a 1000 yards. The guy's got huuuuge hands. The one thing holding him back is that he had a sub-par Junior year. If he had run as well that year as the others I think he would be on a lot more top 2 lists.

I wonder where Taysom would fit in there if he were a tailback. I think he's got everything Staley had.

You can have any two and only two BYU running backs in history. Who you got?

Williams still has 2 years to overtake Jenkins though. & he's only 19.

That will simply be an indication of how many seasons he played to put up stats

I want Staley and Willis. I need a passcatcher.

A healthy Luke Staley and and Honor Code abiding Ronney Jenkins

Though I guess the term "history" does imply real RBs from BYU's history

Unga and Jenkins.

Jamaal Williams, healthy Luke Staley.

With Unga as honorable mention. Had such great feet for a 235 pounder.

Staley and Van Valkenburg

Lloyd Jones has gotta be in the running...you can't beat his 32 yards per carry.

Duke Silver

Braithwaite is one of the more underrated running backs we've had.

Undefeated

Jones played wide receiver. His one run was a reverse.

I stand corrected.

As a tandom, Harvey has to be one of them.

Shimmy

I'd probably go with Jenkins and Brown

But his most memorable play was dropping the easiest pass ever.

first play vs uu 2005.

Ironically, I actually think Unga had even better hands than Brown, but he also

Unfortunately for Steve Taint, Harvey made up for that mistake.

Shimmy

4/16/14 9:31pm

Yes, he did...and it was glorious.

4/16/14 10:18pm

Staley and Unga. Jamaal has a chance to be up there with those two.

Any answer that does not include Staley is the wrong answer

Amen. We may never have another Staley. Sad he was injury prone.

Have to disagree with last comment. No one went from 0 to 60 as fast as Staley.

Staley had a much long stride too when he got out into the open field.

Agree to disagree. Taysom is one of the top "burst" guys I've seen at BYU...

If you have Staley and his speed, why do you need Jenkins? Unga is the choice.

At fullback it is Todd Christenson. At tailback there is a 3-way tie:
