I was going to vote for
Eldon Fortie. That was when I began following BYU football.
For those who don't know:
Eldon Fortie (born 1941) was a college football player at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Dubbed "The Phantom" while at BYU, he was the first BYU football player to be named to a first-team All-America squad.[1]

During his senior season, Fortie led the nation in total offense for eight weeks, and at the end of the season finished second behind Terry Baker with 1,963 total yards and 14 touchdowns. On September 29, 1962, Fortie ran for 272 yards in a single game in Provo against the George Washington University Colonials. That remains the single best running game of any BYU player in school history.[2] Fortie's No. 40 was retired after that season, the first BYU student to have that honor.[3] In 1962 he ran for 1,149 yards and 14 TD but more impressively also threw for 814 yards with 7 TD.[4]
