Pete Maravich
Joe Burrow
Todd Walker... and there are no close seconds to any of the three!

Here is a blurb written on Furniss:

Furniss was named SEC Player of the Year in 1996 and National Player of the Year two years later. His impressive college career culminated in his induction into the College Baseball Hall of Fame – one of just three former Tigers players to receive that honor. He helped LSU win back-to-back national championships in 1996 and 1997.


Furniss arrived in Baton Rouge shortly after Hall of Famer Todd Walker's college career ended and Furniss ultimately broke several of Walker's SEC records.
The first baseman left LSU as the conference's leader in hits (352), doubles (87), home runs (80), RBI (308), and total bases (689). Furniss ranked in the top five in NCAA history in latter four categories when he finished his college career.


That's legendary.

I like your three, but Billy Cannon is an extremely close call to Joe Burrow. They both played the most important position at that time, won Heismans and led their team to an undefeated national championship. Burrow had one great year; Cannon had two. And Canon played both ways. Very close call.

Aaron Nola is a close call with Walker, as is Bregman. Pete stands alone.
