Before he was arguably the best player in NFL history, Jerry Rice was dominating the Division I-AA level at Mississippi Valley State from 198-1984. Rice hauled in 66 passes for 1,133 yards and seven touchdowns as a sophomore but those numbers would pale in comparison to what he and quarterback Willie Totten would combine to accomplish the next two years.

Rice set a record with his 102 catches and 1,450 yards, including a 24-catch, 279-yard game against Southern University to earn All-American honors. In 1984 as a senior, Rice broke his own records with 112 catches for 1,845 yards and an NCAA record 27 touchdowns. receptions (112) and receiving yards (1,845). His 27 touchdown receptions in that 1984 season set the NCAA mark for all levels and Rice finished ninth in the Heisman vote.

Rice finished his career with 301 catches for 4,693 yards and 50 touchdowns and is in the College Football Hall of Fame.
