CSC alumnus Danny Woodhead is featured on ncaa.com.

Woodhead talks about his time setting records at Chadron State College. He set several NCAA college football rushing records, including single season rushing and all-time rushing. In 2006 and 2007, he won the Harlon Hill Trophy, awarded to the best player in NCAA Division II, making him the third player to win the trophy twice in its history (the other players are Johnny Bailey and Dusty Bonner).

On Oct. 6, 2007, Woodhead became the NCAA all-time, all-division leading rusher. Woodhead held this record until it was broken by Mount Union College running back Nate Kmic on December 13, 2008.

Woodhead is currently a running back for the New England Patriots.
