Adrian Peterson Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images Adrian Peterson is one of the biggest recruits to ever sign with Oklahoma in the Bob Stoops era. Despite the immense hype, he managed to exceed expectations. Peterson set numerous NCAA records his freshman year in 2004. He rushed for over 100 yards in the first nine games of the season, which is a freshman record, and his 11 total games of 100 yards or more is also a record. The future Sooner legend ran for 225 yards against the Texas Longhorns, who were ranked in the top five at the time. Peterson led the nation that season in carries and rushed for 1,925, which was yet another NCAA freshman record. He was a consensus All-American and finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting, which is still the highest finish ever for a freshman.
