Curtis Enis needed just three seasons in Happy Valley to climb to No. 2 on the all-time rushing list, though he has since been bumped to No. 6. In 1997, Enis amassed 1,578 all-purpose yards and 20 touchdowns. He finished fifth in Heisman Trophy voting, was named an All-American, and became the fifth overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft.
For his career, Enis averaged an extremely efficient 5.8 yards per attempt and 8.9 yards per reception. A knee injury broke his NFL career to a premature end in 2001.
