Kenneth Hall, Sugarland, Texas 1954

Hall had one of the legendary careers in high school football and as a result, his numbers are too hard to overlook. Hall had more rushing yards in one season (4,045 in 12 games in 1953 with 395 points scored) than Thomas, Dickerson, Campbell, Tomlinson, or Walker had in their careers. Fifty-five years after he finished playing high school football, Hall still holds the national career rushing record with 11,232 yards, which he set at Sugar LandHigh School near Houston from 1950 to 1953. He also scored 899 career points, which stood as the national record for over 25 years. Hall led Sugar Land to three Texas Class B regional titles. At Texas A&M under coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, Hall was moved to fullback and played linebacker on defense. The moves didn't fit his style of play and he eventually quit the team. However Hall did play in the Canadian Football League and played on an NFL championship team with the Baltimore Colts in 1959 and an AFL championship team with the Houston Oilers in 1961. He holds two Oiler records for best kickoff return average and longest kick return. Since 1999, the award for the top high school player in the country has been named the Kenneth Hall Award.
