Kansas State all-time leaders in rushing yards: 10: Josh Scobey (1,981)

In just two seasons as a member of Kansas State football, Josh Scobey was able to rush for nearly 2,000 yards in his career. A lot of that came from his second season in Manhattan, in 2001, where he rushed for 1,263 yards off 240 carries with 15 touchdowns.

His first season in 2000 saw him rush for 718 yards and 16 touchdowns, which paved the way for success for Scobey.

That impressive 2001 season was impressive enough that the Arizona Cardinals took a chance on Scobey in the sixth round of the 2002 NFL Draft. Scobey was a kick returner in the NFL, putting up over 1,600 yards on returns and returning a kickoff 100 yards down the field for a touchdown in his rookie year.

Scobey would be out of the league after 2007, but still sits in the top ten all-time in K-State rushing yards.
