Austin Carr (Notre Dame, 1967-1971)

Well, we can totally see why head coach John Dee wanted to kiss Austin Carr, the star player of Notre Dame at the time. This was taken after Carr earned 61 points in an NCAA Championship game. This total remains the all-time single-game scoring record to this day. He was an amazing offensive player with an average of 38 points per game during the 1970 and 1971 seasons. These both rank in the ten highest single-season scoring average made by a college player in history! Aside from that, he was also dubbed the National Collegiate Player of the Year in 1971 and was a consensus All-American pick two times.
