2. Jamie Morris-

Jamie Morris was another four year player at Michigan and he was a full time starter for three of those seasons. Even as a freshman he became the starter part way through the season and led the team in rushing. During his first three years his quarterback was Jim Harbaugh and Michigan had a great run pass balance. After Harbaugh left for the NFL, Morris took over a larger workload as a senior, and he didn’t disappoint. Morris ran for 1703 yards and 14 touchdowns as a senior. He also averaged an impressive 6.0 yards per carry. Morris ranks fourth on Michigan’s all time list in both rushing attempts and rushing yards. One record Morris still holds at Michigan is most all purpose yards in a career.
