University of Toledo Athletics

Wasean Tait produced the greatest single season as a running back in MAC history, rushing for 2090 yards and 24 touchdowns in 1995. Tait led Toledo to 11-0-1 mark and Las Vegas Bowl victory in 1995 and earned second-team All-America honors by UPI and third-team All-America by AP, and was named MAC Player of the Year. Tait rushed for 185 yards and four touchdowns in Toledo's 40-37 win over Nevada, including the game-winner in overtime. Tait was considered to be a high NFL draft pick until a devastating knee injury in the season opener in 1996 put him on the sidelines for two full seasons. He came back in 1998 and led Toledo with 625 yards rushing. Tait also led Toledo in rushing as a freshman with 680 yards and had 917 yards as a sophomore. He is second all-time at UT with 4,338 career yards, first in attempts with 837 and second with 18 100-yard games.
