My mind is short on names. But out of the ones you listed, Tebow and Reggie Bush have to be the biggest stars.

Does not compute.

Biggest long term stars would probably be Tebow and Reggie Bush. Hell, they both have careers still based on how big of a star they were in college.

It has to be Tebow. Played all four seasons and was a huge star for the entire time he was in college. Also was enormously popular among the Evangelical Christian base.

Vince Young was a cheat code. Even if the defense KNEW what was coming (looking at you USC) they had no hope of shutting him down.

Matt Leinart was pretty much on celebrity status in the early 2000s. Dating an MTV reality tv star, hanging out with Nick Lachey, and was followed around LA like an A-lister. He was a basically pop culture icon for a little while.

In terms of pure fame… Tebow, Reggie, and Leinart probably in that order
