Paul Allen holds the record for the highest average gain per kickoff return for a season. He played for BYU from 1959 to 1961. He broke the record in 1961. He set the record with 40.1 yards per kickoff return average. (Minimum 1.2 returns per game.)


BYU’s 1896 football team, their first team. We could not find a picture of Paul Allen.

Paul played on below average teams whose record for his three years were 8 - 23. He was a running back but was used sparingly; still, he must have been fast to do so well on kickoff returns.
