I know it's just the Big Least, but Owen Schmitt:

Pros not college but hands down it's Billy Cole

 

[NOTREDAMECHIEF]

Pete Johnson was a beast....

 

[Blackburn]

Bo Jackson

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

Tough one...

Never saw anyone in CFB with a more devastating stiff arm than Beanie
but Campbell used to emit .. "hit me at your own destruction"
When I think of Earl, I think of defenders hitting him in the thighs like they just hit an oak tree... and they'd just fall to the ground unconscious.. so they'd hit him high and this would happen



I do believe.. in 2008, there is not one back you'd rather have behind you than Beanie.. and no one a DB would be more fearful of

Greg Jones doesn't have anywhere near the consistency of some of the other guys mentioned here, but...

The Univ. of Miami used to have this guy named Stephen McGuire in the late 80s early 90s that was an absolute truck. His whole goal was to run right through you and he did. I remember he single handedly beat up Notre Dame very badly in a late 80s game.

Earl Campbell's also the name that came to mind for me.

I'd go with Earl Campbell but I think Herschel Walker belongs in the discussion.

Earl Campbell. In a Buckeye uniform, Vaughn Broadnax.

The guy really was a "beast" in college too, see NFL clip....



He's "paid" for that style of play too:

Longhorn legend Earl Campbell shares addiction recovery story

Campbell, 60, took to the stage, telling his story of triumph and tragedy both on the football field and off. One of the most beloved Texas athletes explained how doctors treating his pain from sports injuries nearly took away his life with an addiction to prescription pain medication.

Eziekel Elliott

Honorable mention, the Iron King:

On the other hand.... Perhaps 12 gauge wins this category.....

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Seriously, though, Elliott is the most violent runner I've seen in a Loooooooong time.... and it continues in the NFL

Overall, Earl Campbell. Even Jack Tatum admitted that Earl made him reconsider how much he wanted to hit people.

Pound for pound, Walter Payton:

All running back discussion stops at the mention of Jim Brown. If you're too young to have seen him, just know a truth has been spoken.

Wouldn't OJ Simpson be the most violent runner?
