Have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of these this year than in years past, so here's the first of probably many: http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/246796198/saquon-barkley-2017-penn-state-heisman-history
Interesting factoid I didn't know:
After two seasons, Barkley is less than 1,400 yards away from setting the career rushing record at a school with a deep roster of star college runners. Since the NFL-AFL merger, no team has had more running backs selected in the first round of the draft than Penn State's nine. Led by 1973 winner John Cappelletti, Penn State has also had five running backs finish in the top five of the Heisman Trophy race. Barkley is already a strong bet to join the former group, and the growth of the line will put him in position join the latter group of Heisman contenders, too.
