For Purdue, about the only possible nominees are Leroy Keyes and Mike Alstott...

RBU has a lot of guys.

Taylor
Gordon
Ball
Dayne
White
Davis
Calhoun
Bennett
Moss
Fletcher

and more.

Everyone knew they were getting the ball, and most could do nothing about it.

You left out a Heisman-winner, of the equine variety.
Not a criticism, just belaboring your point.

Classifying these RBs might be fun.

Physical freaks that could have gone straight to the NFL:

I'm bigger AND faster than you:

You could tackle me if you could touch me:

I'm just going to run you right over:

I'm not big or fast, but you still can't stop me:

For the Dawgs, I'd list:

Charlie Trippi (Different time of course)
Frank Sinkwich (same)

Herschel
Garrison Hearst
Todd Gurley
Sony Michel
Nick Chubb

Some other decent ones of course, but no one comes to mind as super special, Knowshon, Terrill Davis (was underused in college), Rodney Hampton... the Dawgs have not had a great one in a few years IMHO, and it shows, perhaps the OL or play calling?

Metcalf had 125 receptions, which is a lot. 
THE forgotten Horn RB is Roosevelt Leaks, from the mid-70s.  1000 yard season, 1400 yard season, but then must've gotten hurt his SR season.

I think that, combined with Campbell coming up next, makes him sort of lost to history.  

Between the both of them, UT was signing some hombres...
