College football is full of players who have went on to become stars and those that fell flat in their pursuit of greatness. For many recruits, there’s no better designation than being labeled a “five-star” talents. But not all five-star prospects pan out.

Here is a look at the five-star running backs to filter through the college ranks in the past decade and how they fared.

2006 – 9 5-star running backs

Beanie Wells: Beanie Wells logged consecutive 1,000-yard seasons at Ohio State during his sophomore and junior seasons, en route to 3,382 career yards and 30 TDs in his career. Wells came close, but failed to win a title. Ohio State played in both the 2006 and 2007 BCS Championship games, losing to Florida in ’06 and LSU in ’07.

Stafon Johnson: A brutal weightlifting accident ended Stafon Johnson’s career with Southern California after 1,395 yards and 14 touchdowns with the Trojans.

Allen Bradford: Allen Bradford spent most of his career behind Stafon Johnson and Joe McKnight on the USC death chart, but he finished with 1,585 yards and reached the NFL as a linebacker under former USC coach Pete Carroll.

C.J. Spiller: Clemson running back C.J. Spiller sandwiched two marginal years between stellar freshman and senior campaigns to tally 3,547 career yards and 32 touchdowns. He left the Tigers for the NFL’s Buffalo Bills.

Demarco Murray: Before leading the NFL in rushing with the Dallas Cowboys, Demarco Murray was setting records at Oklahoma. Murray left Norman with the Sooners’ all-time marks for touchdowns (65), all-purpose yards (6,718) and receiving yards for a running back (1,571).

Mike Goodson: Mike Goodson peaked too early at Texas A&M, earning Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors. The running back tallied 847 yards and four touchdowns during his debut campaign in College Station, but fizzled from there with 706- and 411-yard seasons to close out his career.

C.J. Gable: C.J. Gable never truly recovered from a season-ending injury during his sophomore year, after becoming the first freshman to start a season-opener for USC. Buried on a deep Trojans roster, Gable finished his career with 1,549 yards and 13 touchdowns.

James Aldridge: The Notre Dame recruit is considered one of the bigger busts in Irish history, rushing for only 979 and three touchdowns in four middling season in South Bend.

LeSean McCoy: McCoy turned out to be one of the premier backs from the stacked 2006 class, rushing for 2,816 yards and 35 touchdowns in two seasons at Pittsburgh after transferring from Milford Academy.

RBs ranked lower: Charles Scott, Knowshon Moreno, Anthony Dixon

2007 — 3 running backs

Joe McKnight: McKnight rang up 2,755 all-purpose yards and 15 touchdowns in three controversial seasons with Southern California. The back and kick-return specialist was part of the NCAA investigation that brought down the Trojans during that era for his use of a free SUV.

Marc Tyler: Southern California hasn’t had a shortage of five-star running backs in the last decade, but not many of them panned out. Marc Tyler is one of those that failed to live up to his potential, earning 1,751 yards and 15 touchdowns in three seasons with the Trojans.

Noel Devine: Noel Devine tore up the Big East with 4,315 career rushing yards and 29 touchdowns for West Virginia. Devine bounced around the NFL and CFL, and was last spotted wearing an Edmonton Eskimos jersey in 2014.

RBs ranked lower: Alfred Morris, Jahvid Best, Jonathan Dwyer

2008 — 3 running backs

Darrell Scott: Scott left Colorado after two mediocre seasons for South Florida, where he lasted one year in which he gained in 814 yards and three scores. He packed his bags once again for the NFL, but found no takers.

Jermie Calhoun: Jermie Calhoun was supposed to be Oklahoma’s next Adrian Peterson, and he was in one way, in that a knee injury cost him some serious time. Calhoun never truly recovered, finishing with 224 yards and a touchdown during two seasons in Norman, before testing his luck at Angelo State.

Richard Samuel: Samuel jumped around from position to position on both offense and defense and never found a true home for Georgia. As a result, he finished his career with 833 rushing yards and just four touchdowns during four seasons in Athens.

RBs ranked lower: Mark Ingram, Jonathan Franklin, LaMichael James

2009 — 3 running backs

Bryce Brown: Bryce Brown managed to turn a tumultuous college career between Tennessee and Kansas State into an NFL career, despite rushing for just 16 yards on three carries during his lone season with the Wildcats. Brown tallied 460 yards with Tennessee his freshman year, but announced his decision to leave shortly after Lane Kiffin left Knoxville.

Trent Richardson: Trent Richardson is considered one of the biggest NFL busts of the last decade, which is befuddling considering his monster college career in which he led Alabama to a national title. His 3,860 career yards and 42 touchdowns were certainly an enticing to NFL scouts, but it just hasn’t panned out for Richardson in the professional ranks.

Christine Michael: Christine Michael is making the most of his second stint with the Seattle Seahawks, racking up career rushing highs while spelling injured Marshawn Lynch and Thomas Rawls in the postseason. Michael’s college career at Texas A&M was less stellar, never rushing for more than 899 yards in a season. He did manage to finish his time in College Station with 2,791 yards and 44 touchdowns.

RBs ranked lower: Eddie Lacy, Zac Stacy, Montee Ball

2010 — 3 running backs

Marcus Lattimore: Marcus Lattimore might forever be known for the gruesome leg injury that ended his outstanding career in South Carolina during his junior season. He finished with 2,677 career yards and 38 touchdowns and earned a shot to make the San Francisco 49ers, but was eventually forced to retire.

Michael Dyer: Michael Dyer was on top of the world with a national championship and 2,335 yards and 15 touchdowns during his first two seasons at Auburn. But off-the-field issues saw him relocate to Arkansas State and Arkansas Baptist College before eventually landing at Louisville.

Lache Seastrunk: Not just a great name, Seastrunk gained 2,189 yards and 18 touchdowns with Baylor after transferring from Oregon. Seastrunk failed in his effort to back up his boast that he’d win the Heisman Award and failed to carve out an NFL career.

RBs ranked lower: Silas Redd, Giovani Bernard, Ben Malena

2011 — 6 running backs

Malcolm Brown: Malcolm Brown saw significant action during all four years at Texas, but never truly broke out. With 904 yards his junior year, Brown appeared poised to break out his final season, but posted a middling 708 yards and six touchdowns.

Brandon Williams: Brandon Williams never got it in gear after transferring from Oklahoma to Texas A&M, garnering one carry for 3 yards his senior year.

Isaiah Crowell: Georgia booted Crowell out of their program after the freshman was arrested on weapons charges. Crowell had 850 yards and five touchdowns that season, but the Bulldogs had seen enough. He finished his career at Alabama State and has made a career in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns.

Savon Huggins: After missing 2014 with an injury, the Rutgers tailback (842 yards, 9 TDs) transferred to Northern Iowa, where he closed his career with 216 yards and two touchdowns.

De’Anthony Thomas: The man known as “DAT” put on a show for Oregon, returning five kicks for touchdowns during his time in Eugene. He finished with 3,186 all-purpose yards and 41 touchdowns for the Ducks, before taking his talents to the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs.

James Wilder Jr.: Wilder Jr. played running back for Florida State, rather than linebacker as some hypothesized, and finished his career with the Seminoles with 1,363 yards and 20 touchdowns. After kicking around the Cincinnati Bengals in 2014, Wilder Jr. didn’t make a 53-man roster in 2015.

RBs ranked lower: Tre Mason, Bishop Sankey, Ka’Deem Carey

2012 — 6 running backs

Keith Marshall: Marshall burst onto the scene alongside Todd Gurley for Georgia, but his career never took after that as injuries relegated him behind Gurley, Nick Chubb and Sony Michel in the Bulldogs backfield. Despite a chance to do so, Marshall opted against requesting an additional year of eligibility and will test the NFL Draft waters.

Johnathan Gray: Johnathan Gray saw his numbers decline for the Texas Longhorns, bottoming out in 2015 with 493 yards and three touchdowns. He finishes his career with 2,610 yards and 17 touchdowns.

T.J. Yeldon: The former Alabama star burst on the NFL scene as a rookie with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2015 with 1,019 yards from scrimmage (740 rushing yards) and three touchdowns. That shouldn’t be a surprise for the man who posted three 1,000-yard seasons for the Tide.

Trey Williams: After a 1,673 yard, 19-touchdown college career, Trey Williams opted to leave Texas A&M early for the NFL. Let’s just his rookie season didn’t pan out, getting just a pair of carries for 12 yards with the Indianapolis Colts.

Rushel Shell: Rushel Shell’s career at West Virginia came to a close with a 708-yard, eight-touchdown senior year. After transferring from Pittsburgh, Shell managed 1,496 yards and 15 scores with the Mountaineers. Injuries limited Shell and his failed attempt to transfer to UCLA and return to the Panthers backfired on him.

Duke Johnson: Duke Johnson rushed for 1,652 yards as a senior for Miami and continued running right into the NFL. Johnson earned 913 all-purpose yards (379 rushing) for the Cleveland Browns during his rookie season.

RBs ranked lower: Todd Gurley, Jonathan Williams, D.J. Foster

2013 — 5 running backs

Derrick Henry: Henry posted the greatest season by a running back in Alabama history in 2015  en route to winning the Heisman trophy. He has just about every single-season rushing record in Tide history, while leading the nation in yards (2,219 yards) and touchdowns (28).

Thomas Tyner: Oregon running back Thomas Tyner saw his career derailed in 2015 thanks to shoulder surgery that forced him to miss the year. The speedy Tyner was a huge part of the Ducks offense, rushing for 1,284 yards and 14 touchdowns during his first two seasons in Oregon.

Kelvin Taylor: The son of NFL legend Fred Taylor, Kelvin concluded his junior season by helping to lead Florida to an SEC East title. Taylor finished the year with the first 1,000-yard performance of his career (1,035 yards) and found the end zone 13 times for the Gators. The tailback has already declared for the 2016 NFL Draft.

Keith Ford: Keith Ford sat out the 2015 season after transferring to Texas A&M from Oklahoma, where he mostly sat behind Samaje Perine. Ford earned 392 yards and five touchdowns as a freshman for the Sooners, but was slowed by a foot injury before leaving the program amid suspensions for academic issues and a violation of team rules. He has two years of eligibility remaining with the Aggies.

Derrick Green: Derrick Green’s broken collarbone set him back at Michigan and a deep Wolverine backfield cost him carries. Green managed just 898 yards and seven touchdowns in three seasons, but decided to leave Ann Arbor and is expected to transfer this spring.

RBs ranked lower: Ezekiel Elliott, Alex Collins, T.J. Logan

2014 — 6 running backs

Leonard Fournette: Despite a late-season slip, Leonard Fournette established himself as one of the best running backs (and overall players) in college football during the 2015 season. The sophomore led the nation in rushing with 162.8 YPG average and finished second in the nation with 22 rushing scores. He returns to Baton Rouge for his junior year and is already considered the frontrunner to win the Heisman Award.

Dalvin Cook: Dalvin Cook led the ACC in rushing during his sophomore year, tallying 1,691 yards and 19 touchdowns for Florida State. Cook crested the 100-yard rushing mark eight times in 2015, including a pair of 200-plus yard games. He should contend with Leonard Fournette of LSU for the Heisman as a junior during the 2016 season.

Royce Freeman: Royce Freeman kept his foot on the accelerator as a sophomore, rushing for 1,838 yards and 17 touchdowns. He now has 3,203 career yards in 28 games and already ranks No. 4 on Oregon’s all-time rushing list.

Nick Chubb: Chubb returns to Georgia next season with a chip on his shoulder after missing half of the 2015 season with a brutal knee injury. Chubb was considered among the game’s elite running backs before the injury against Tennessee in Week 6, rushing for 2,292 yards in just the first 20 games of his career. He gained notoriety prior to the injury for tying the Bulldogs’ program record with 13-consecutive 100-yard performances.

Joe Mixon: Joe Mixon is lucky to still be on the Oklahoma Sooners, after allegedly punching a woman in the face and being arrested for misdemeanor assault. He worked his way back into Bob Stoops’ good graces, enough to garner 1,109 all-purpose yards (753 rushing) and 11 touchdowns during his freshman year

Jalen Hurd: Often overlooked in the SEC behind the likes of Derrick Henry, Leonard Fournette and Alex Collins, Tennessee’s Jalen Hurd could be among the top backs in the SEC in 2016. Hurd eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark as a sophomore (1,285 yards) and is a big reason why the Volunteers will enter next year as a favorite to win the SEC East.

RBs ranked lower: Samaje Perine, Stanley “Boom” Williams, Sony Michel

2015 – no 5-star running backs

The 2015 season was a big one for running backs as the likes of Alabama’s Derrick Henry, LSU’s Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey all posted record-breaking performances. Which makes the 2015 recruiting class’ lack of five-star running backs a bit confusing.

Among the four-star prospects that saw some action in 2015 include a pair of SEC running back in Kerryon Johnson of Auburn and LSU’s Derrius Guice. Johnson (208 yards, 3 TDs) finished his freshman year fourth among the Tigers’ rushing leaders, while Guice ran for 436 yards and three  touchdowns as a backup to Leonard Fournette.

RBs ranked lower: Ronald Jones II, Johnny Frazier, Kerryon Johnson, Jacques Patrick, Derrius Guice
