Dorsett did all these things in about 13 months, the shortest time possible.

There's only 4 that fit the thread title and they've all been mentioned.

Tony Dorsett
Marcus Allen
Charles Woodson
Reggie Bush*

Note: I placed an * by the obvious.


There's 2 players that won the Heisman, a College Championship & a NFL Championship in the Pre-Super Bowl era.

Leon Hart (Notre Dame & Detroit Lions)
Glen Davis (Army & Los Angeles Rams)


Paul Hornung did not play in 1953 his freshman year when ND had a contested title.

So Marcus Allen basically won a player of the year and a championship at every single level of football that he played.

He's also a Hall of Famer at every single level he played at.

About the only thing he's missing is being the #1 overall pick in the draft.

I know...I'm wondering if there is anything more accomplished in any sport...best guess would be Kareem.

Hornung was still on the team IMO he should count

Bill Russell was taken 2nd in the NBA draft, Kareem was taken first.

They both had all the accolades and titles at the collegiate and professional level but I don't think Russell won titles at the high school level like Kareem.

In high school, Kareem led Power Memorial Academy to three straight New York City Catholic championships, a 71-game winning streak, and a 79–2 overall record.

That was easy.



His CFBNC was vacated and he gave the heisman back, no?

He won a national title in 2003 anyways.

He won the Heisman. What happened after is really irrelevant to the original question. He won the award.

I could be wrong but I don't think Kareem won a gold medal but what really puts Russell over the top is the 11 championships

We're not talking about accumulation of titles but winning everything at every single level of play.

That was the original subject but he said more accomplished. Russell deserves some either way

It does not say whether or not he was on the team his freshman year, though (I'm still looking, but I would assume he was). And it was not a consensus National Championship.


Freshman couldnt play college football until like the 60s or 70s i believe
