There are too many to name, but you laid out the rules and said only one, so I'm gonna go with Rudy Macklin.
I could name so many others, but I was raised in Kentucky and LOVED to see LSU beat UK's basketball team with regularity. Macklin was also from Kentucky, but played for LSU and gave Kentucky absolute FITS! Loved watching him play on a team with Greg Cook, Howard Carter, Ethan Martin, Leonard Mitchell, Willie Simms, and yes, Johnny Jones was there at that time as a player.

Chad Jones just because I didn’t think it was possible for a man to envoke more fear from a baseball mound than trying to lay your arse out on a football field.

Clarence Smith
This guy was came to LSU in 1905 and was fast and hard to stop, had to sit out 2 years earning money at the Istrouma hotel just to come back and play in the 1908 season.
While he was working as the night clerk at the Istrouma hotel, LSU lost it's head coach and the student body near to a man signed a petition to hire Clarence as the new head coach.
LSU singed Edgar Wingard and the rest is history, 10-0.
But forgotten in all those facts is Clarence not only was one of the key players on the team, he is also the one that past away having played in the La. Tech game and sometime being then and arriving at Little Rock he was beaten by a mosquito. He would pass away and his funeral was the saddest event in LSU history. He past away January 20th 1909 in Baton Rouge far from his home, but close to his friends and teammates.
He was well beloved by the facility and student alike. Edgar's wife sang at his funeral, an escort of LSU cadets and his brother "Bob" bought his body back to his Michigan home.
Low he is planted in the ground of his hometown far to north in Allegan Michigan, in the cold ground. None today remember him or his love for LSU, we have forgotten his deeds or noble character that endeared him to all.
If by chance you pass his way in Oakwood Cemetery in Allegan Michigan, please place a flower there for all those who once cared for him as all have passed over the bridge to follow him to the after life.
And yes Tulane his name was Clarence Smith.

Tom Hodson was qb when i was in 6th - 9th grade. won an outright sec title and shared another. broke a bazillion lsu and sec qb records. 4 time first team all-sec. he wasn't a genetic freak and hit a wall in the nfl, but i grew up on tom hodson at qb.
tittle, jones, davey and russell are all more talented, but hodson is my favorite. he's also the most accomplished at the college level.
