Rasul Douglas, WVU. Juco kid who transferred into WVU in 2015. Barely played. Had 8 tackles in the 10 games he appeared in.

In 2016, he tied for the FBS lead in INTS with 8, recorded 70 tackles, was first team All Big 12, and named 2nd Team or Honorable Mention on several AA teams.

Travis Stephens, lest a Gator forget. 

Ehh, being a Gator and very familiar with the Vols makes Stephens not a 1-year guy in my mind, but he fits the description.  But we know the Travises were a thing (along with Travis Henry, from FL) before 2001.  I was too close to consider him, lol.

Stephens' performance in the rescheduled game in the Swamp was one of the strangest outcomes I can remember.  We had a very good run D that year, and while Stephens WAS good, UT just didn't run it on us back then.  But damn, he did that day!

He was not the starter in 2013. That was James White.
Okay, then I guess we need to edit it from started for only 1 year to was only a major contributor for one year.  
A guy with a 1600 yard season in his back pocket is on the radar already, yes?

If I'm understanding you correctly, Chase can't be on the list.  He played in all 13 games in 2018 and started in 7. 
Yeah, I guess we needn't stick to the "started" thing and go with "major contributor."  You could argue Chase contributed in 2018, but I believe he was 4th in receptions......WR is hard for this kind of thing.  If you're the 4th option one year, then blow up to All-American status the next, I think that qualifies.

Good one, thank you.

I got Banks on the initial list, for sure.  I loved watching him play.  I didn't realize Greene was such a 1-year wonder.  Perfect!

Gordon had a 1600 yard season before going off for 2500 in 2014.
Started only four games. James White started 12.

Technicality, but I enjoy it.

With this caveat, I submit Kelly Washington. 

From the same year as Stephens, 2001. 

Washington spent two seasons at the [color=var(--color-visited,#6a60b0)]University of Tennessee[/color].[color=var(--color-visited,#6a60b0)][5][/iurl][/font][/size][/color] As a 22-year-old freshman in 2001, he caught 70 passes for 1,080 yards and seven touchdowns and made the freshman All-American team.[color=var(--color-visited,#6a60b0)][6][/iurl][/font][/size][/color][color=var(--color-visited,#6a60b0)][7][/iurl][/font][/size][/color] In 2001, he etched his name in the Tennessee school history with a single-game record 256 receiving yards on 11 catches in the regular season matchup with LSU.[color=var(--color-visited,#6a60b0)][8][/iurl][/font][/size][/color][color=var(--color-visited,#6a60b0)][9][/iurl][/font][/size][/color]

Terrell Farley Nebraska sort of fits here.  He fell out of the CC sky in 1995, didn't start until the 7th game, and was dismissed from team part way through 96 season.

That guy was a specimen.  Wreaked havoc.

For sure. He contributed greatly in 2012 too. Ask Fearless.

2 of the 7 sacks of Wuerffel in the Fiesta
10 total tackles, including two sacks for 22 yards in losses vs #8 KSU

Playing alongside Jamel Williams didn't hurt
