College Football/Jersey Numbers

Question
I noticed that Bush, Tomlinson and Larry Johnson all wore number 5 in college.  Traditionally, this is not a popular running back number.  Have other current stars wore number 5 in college?

Answer
Steve, hello!

I think of Paul Hornung wearing #5 and go blank!  I was in class this week and have not answered emails until today, but will see if I can research your inquiry.  Going to someplace like NCAA.com or DivIFootball may give us the answer.

Have a great day!
