It’s hard to believe that among all the sensational tailbacks to pass through the SEC during the first 15 years of the 21st century, only 15 have managed to rush for 1,000 yards twice during their careers.

That’s a rather exclusive club, more exclusive than we originally guessed, and as a result we felt those backs deserved recognition for their historic accomplishments in the SEC. So without further ado, here are the SEC’s multiple-time 1,000-yard rushers of the 2000’s:

ALABAMA

T.J. Yeldon (2012-13): A number of Nick Saban’s star tailbacks failed to post multiple 1,000-yard seasons due to the Tide’s consistent depth in the backfield, from Eddie Lacy to Trent Richardson to Mark Ingram and beyond. Yeldon, however, made the most of his share of Alabama’s carries, rushing for 1,000 yards as a true freshman and again as a sophomore. He finished a mere 21 yards shy of achieving the feat a third time last season.

Kenneth Darby (2004-05): Darby posted his first 1,000-yard season as a sophomore in 2004, adding a career-high nine total touchdowns that season, including eight rushing scores. He backed up that season with 1,200 more yards as a junior in 2005, but regressed back to below 900 yards as a senior, averaging fewer than 4.5 yards per carry.

ARKANSAS

Darren McFadden (2005-07): McFadden may be the SEC’s best tailback of the 2000’s, rushing for at least 1,000 yards in each of his three seasons in Fayetteville while sharing carries with at least one, if not two, fellow future NFL backs (Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis). He rushed for 1,100 yards as a freshman, then for more than 1,600 as a sophomore and eventually more than 1,800 as a junior before going in the top 10 of the 2008 NFL draft. He also scored 41 rushing touchdowns for his incredible college career, earning consensus All-America honors in 2006 and ’07 while finishing as the Heisman runner-up both years.

Felix Jones (2006-07): It’s amazing that while only 15 SEC tailbacks have achieved multiple 1,000-yard seasons in the last 15 years, Jones did so while sharing time with a consensus All-American for each of his three college seasons. He ran for 600 yards as a freshman before bursting on the scene in 2006 with 1,100 yards. He ran for 1,100 more yards in 2007, scoring 17 touchdowns in those two years and joining McFadden as a consensus All-American in 2007. Jones will forever be remembered as a “what if” back as we ponder what numbers he might’ve posted had he been his team’s featured back.

Alex Collins (2013-14): While senior Jonathan Williams’ return to Arkansas has commanded headlines in Fayetteville this offseason, Collins quietly prepares for his third and likely final season in the SEC. He ran for 1,000 yards in each of his first two college seasons, all while sharing time with Williams, who will join Collins in the NFL draft class next year. Collins is a patient runner who stays low, maintains balance and lets holes develop in front of him. With the talent Arkansas returns up front, he very well could rush for 1,000 yards again in 2015.

AUBURN

Tre Mason (2012-13): We’ll forever remember Mason’s SEC-leading 1,816 yards in 2013, including 304 in that year’s SEC championship game alone. But many forget Mason also ran for 1,000 yards in 2012, Gene Chizik’s last year on the plains. Mason just barely hit the milestone with 1,002 yards, but it was proper foreshadowing for what Tigers fans would enjoy one year later during a conference title run.

Michael Dyer (2010-11): Before Dyer’s career at Auburn ended prematurely, he began his career on the plains with consecutive 1,000-yard seasons as a freshman and sophomore. As a true freshman in 2010 he ran for just shy of 1,100 yards in complementing Cam Newton in Auburn’s national title-winning backfield. The next year he ran for more than 1,200 yards, but after landing back on his feet at Louisville he only ran for 700 yards the last two seasons combined.

Cadillac Williams (2003-04): Splitting time with eventual NFL star Ronnie Brown in a historically great Auburn backfield, Williams ran for 1,000 yards as a junior and senior. His career took off in 2003 when he ran for more than 1,300 yards, but it was in 2004 that he ran for 1,100 yards for an unbeaten title-snubbed Tigers offense. He’ll always be linked to Brown in some regard, but only Cadillac can claim multiple 1,000-yard seasons (and one of the great nicknames in SEC history).

FLORIDA

N/A — Florida has boasted three different 1,000-yard rushers since the 2000 season (Mike Gillislee, Ciatrick Fason and Ernest Graham), but none have ever achieved the feat twice as a Gator.

GEORGIA

Knowshon Moreno (2007-08): Moreno only played two seasons at Georgia before departing for the NFL, but he dominated the SEC during that time unlike any other back in the 2000’s (except McFadden). The former Dawg ran for 1,300 yards as a freshman and 1,400 yards as a sophomore, scoring a combined 30 rushing touchdowns in that time. For his two-year college career he amassed more than 3,300 yards from scrimmage and 32 touchdowns before carving out a role for himself in the pros.

KENTUCKY

Rafael Little (2005 and 2007): A multi-purpose back, Little may be the least-remembered back on this list from his days as a Wildcat. He barely snuck past the 1,000-yard plateau in 11 games as a sophomore in 2005, then after only rushing for 600 yards as a junior he amassed 1,013 yards as a senior to achieve the feat twice before departing for the NFL. Little was as effective as a pass-catcher as he was a runner, and he likely would’ve run for more yards had he received more carries. He averaged 5.2 yards per carry by the end of his UK career.

LSU

N/A — LSU has boasted six different 1,000-yard rushers since the 2000 season (Leonard Fournette, Jeremy Hill, Stevan Ridley, Charles Scott, Jacob Hester and Justin Vincent), but none have ever achieved the feat twice as a Bayou Bengal.

MISSISSIPPI STATE

Anthony Dixon (2007 and 2009): Dixon is easily the most accomplished tailback in Mississippi State history, closing his career just six yards shy of the exclusive 4,000 yards club. Amazingly, he only rushed for 1,000 yards twice, and not even in consecutive seasons. He ran for 1,066 yards as a sophomore in 2007, then after regressing as a junior (to the tune of only 869 yards) he ran for more than 1,300 yards as a senior in Dan Mullen’s first year as head coach. He’s best remembered for his nose for the end zone, scoring 42 career rushing touchdowns including at least seven in each of his four collegiate seasons.

Jerious Norwood (2004-05): Often overshadowed as the tailback who preceded Dixon in Starkville, Norwood ran for more than 1,000 yards as a junior in 2004 and then backed that season up with 1,100 more yards in 2005. For his career he ran for more than 3,200 yards, but the Bulldogs went 6-14 during his two 1,000-yard seasons and 3-13 in SEC play. Those seasons happened to also be the first seasons of the Sly Croom era at Mississippi State, an era that yielded only one winning season.

MISSOURI

Henry Josey (2011 and 2013): Josey posted his first 1,000-yard season in Missouri’s last season in the Big 12 in 2011, gashing defenses for more than 1,100 yards at a ridiculous 8.1 yards per carry. After missing the 2012 season, Josey returned in 2013 and ran for 1,100 more yards at 6.7 yards per carry, leading Mizzou to its first of two straight SEC East titles. He ran for 25 touchdowns in his two 1,000-yard seasons, and averaged 7.0 yards per carry when his career finally came to a close.

Tony Temple (2006-07): Temple ran for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons in 2006-07. He did so against Big 12 competition, but nonetheless achieved the feat and earned himself a spot on this list. He added 19 touchdowns those two seasons and ran for 5.5 yards per carry during that time.

Brad Smith (2002-03 and 2005): Smith actually posted three 1,000-yard seasons, something only he and McFadden can claim on this list. And although Smith did so against Big 12 competition and not SEC defenses, he also played quarterback, making the feat even more impressive. For his career (four seasons) he threw for 8,600 yards and ran for 4,200 yards, eventually converting to receiver where he’d star as a gadget player in the NFL.

OLE MISS

BenJarvus Green-Ellis (2006-07): After beginning his career at Indiana in the Big Ten, BJGE (aka the Law Firm) transferred to Ole Miss, where he posted consecutive 1,000-yard seasons under then-head coach Ed Orgeron. He ran for exactly 1,000 yards in 2006, then cleared 1,100 yards in 2007, scoring 13 touchdowns those two years. After rushing for more than 1,600 yards in two seasons at Indiana, he moved on to the NFL having posted more than 3,800 yards rushing at the collegiate level.

SOUTH CAROLINA

N/A — South Carolina has boasted three different 1,000-yard rushers since the 2000 season (Mike Davis, Marcus Lattimore and Derek Watson), but none have ever achieved the feat twice as a Gamecock.

TENNESSEE

N/A — Tennessee has boasted eight different 1,000-yard rushers since the 2000 season (Raijon Neal, Tauren Poole, Montario Hardesty, Arian Foster, Gerald Riggs, Cedric Houston, Travis Stephens and Travis Henry), but none have ever achieved the feat twice as a Vol.

TEXAS A&M

Cyrus Gray (2010-11): Playing for former Aggies coach Mike Sherman when A&M was still affiliated with the Big 12, Gray broke through with 1,100 yards in 2010 then ran for another 1,000 yards in 2011 to close the book on his college career. He ran for 3,300 career yards, more than 2,100 of which came in his final two seasons, and he ran for 24 of his 30 career touchdowns in those two seasons as the Aggies faltered in their former conference.

VANDERBILT

Zac Stacy (2011-12): Stacy was James Franklin’s first true superstar during his brief tenure as Vanderbilt’s head coach. Stacy posted his first 1,000 yard season in 2011, Franklin’s first year on the job, and helped Vandy improve its record to 6-6, earning a bowl berth in the process. He repeated the feat in 2012, the first of Vandy’s consecutive nine-win seasons to close the Franklin era. Stacy ran for more than 2,300 yards and 24 touchdowns in those two seasons, and is now an established NFL tailback who was recently traded from the St. Louis Rams to the New York Jets to make room for fellow SEC alum Todd Gurley in St. Louis.
