Portland State University Athletics

FOOTBALL 1997-2000
Setting 16 PSU records, tailback Charles Dunn had an awe-inspiring career at Portland State. He was one of only six Division I-A or I-AA players to rush for more than 6,000 yards in a career. Dunn holds PSU records for rushing yards in a season (1,792) and a career (6,007), as well as touchdowns in a season (21) and a career (54), 100-yard games (30) and 200-yard games (8). 

As a senior, Dunn was an Associated Press and American Football Coaches Association first-team All-American, as well as finishing fourth in the Walter Payton Award balloting. He participated in the Hula Bowl following the season. 

Also in 2000, Dunn rushed for a then-school record 324 yards in a game against nationally-ranked Hofstra, and 154 yards and two touchdowns in a 45-20 win over Hawai’i – the Vikings first-ever win over a Division I-A program. Named 1997 Big Sky Freshman of the Year, Dunn was also a four-time All-Big Sky Conference honoree.
