Gophers' Rodney Smith is one of three top RBs to suffer season-ending injury

Gophers senior running back Rodney Smith isn't the only high-profile player to be lost for the season. Here are five other notable players from around the country:

Rodney Anderson, RB, Oklahoma:

Anderson, who rushed for 201 yards for the Sooners in the College Football Playoff semifinals against Georgia last season, suffered a season-ending knee injury against UCLA last week. He missed most of 2015 (broken leg) and all of 2016 (neck injury).

Trey Adams, OT, Washington:

A preseason All-America selection who is considered a first-round NFL draft pick, the 6-8, 316-pound Adams underwent season-ending back surgery. He missed the second half of the 2017 season because of a torn ACL.

KirVonte Benson, RB, Georgia Tech:

An All-ACC performer after rushing for 1,053 yards last year, the redshirt junior was injured in a 49-38 loss to South Florida. Benson could apply for a medical hardship waiver.

A four-star recruit in 2017, Wilson started as a true freshman last year and was one of the Gators' top defensive players. But a torn ACL has ended his season.

Mike Dudek, WR, Illinois
