Kind of a generational thing for me and a tough decision because I really love Jennings as a player. I'll pick a player from my own student era, even though he never played at the next level.
MAC Oldtimers might hop in the wayback machine to the mid-70s and remember WMU RB Jerome Persell. All American, shifty and explosive runner. Fun to watch. Much like Wolfe, could break one on any one play.

Persell was the last player to wear jersey number 44, which is now retired and one of the best players to ever take the field for WMU.
During his career (1975-1978), Jerome Persell ran for 4,190 yards and 39 touchdowns. It was the second most rushing yards in a career and his 39 rushing TDs ranks top three for a career. He is top three in rushing yards in a single season (1,505), single game yardage (241 vs. Eastern Michigan, 1976) and rushing TDs in a season with 19. His 842 rushing attempt are a career record while his 309 rushing attempts in a single season ranks in the top three.
Persell earned an Associated Press Third Team All American selection in 1976 and 1977. For those that didn't click the stats link, Persell was MAC offensive POY in 1976, '77 and '78 and first team All MAC all three years.
Can't wait till FB season starts. Until then.....
