Koufax did attend Columbia but transferred to Cincinnati where the Dodgers signed him. Don't know if he graduated. That's two. Black Sox and a pre 20th Century player.

I know that Jim Marshall went 66 yards with one ;)

Abe Woodson 92 yards. I’m guessing of course
What 49er caught the pass then fumbled for Marshall to run the wrong way ?
