1. Randall Cunningham

QB/Punter 1982-1984

No player in UNLV football history has drawn more recognition than Randall

Cunningham. Although a

two-time All American as a punter, Cunningham remains the top passer in school

history with more than 8,000 yards passing and 59 touchdown passes in just three

seasons. Cunningham also holds the record in punting with a career

average of 45.6 yards per kick. As a senior, Cunningham led the Rebels to

a school best 11-2 record which culminated with a victory over Toledo in the

1984 California Bowl.

Thomas CB 1998-2001

Perhaps best known for his big play ability, Kevin Thomas returned 6 turnovers

(4 INT, 2 fumbles) for scores in his UNLV career, including an NCAA record

Click setting 100+ yard fumble return as time expired to beat Baylor in 2000 (Here to view this Link.).

Thomas started in 46 consecutive games for the Rebels and amassed 14

interceptions, second only to Marlon Beaver's 17 picks. He was a three

time MWC first team selection as well as the conference's defensive player of

the year his senior season. His 68 pass breakups easily tops Anthony Blue

and Randy Black's 27 deflections.

3. Adam Seward LB 2001-2004

Nobody tallied more tackles than Las Vegas native Adam Seward. His career

433 tackles far outdistances that of his then- teammate Randy Black, who is

number two on the all time tackles list with 294. This three time All-MWC

selection led the conference in tackles in both 2002 and 2004.

4. Mike Thomas

RB 1973-1974

Despite playing only two seasons for the Rebels, Mike Thomas is UNLV's all

time rushing leader. Thomas' 1,741 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns in 1973

both top the UNLV record book. He was a two-time all-American as selected by the

American Football Coaches Association.

5. Henry Bailey

WR/KR 1991-1994

Henry Bailey was a jack of all trades during his UNLV career. No player

has been responsible for more all purpose yards than Bailey. Known

primarily as a wide receiver, Bailey ranks first in touchdown receptions in a

career and second in all time receiving yards. Bailey also ranks fifth in

UNLV history for both punt and kick return average

6. Jon

Denton QB 1996-1997

Jon Denton is the only quarterback to put up numbers near that of Randall

Cunningham. With another year under his belt, he was sure to shatter all

of Cunningham's career records at QB. In Denton's two seasons, he was one

of the top passers in the nation, throwing for nearly 3,600 yards and 25

touchdowns in his last season, his sophomore year. Denton remains #2 in

passing yards in his career (6,177) and touchdowns (43). His 503 yards

passing against SDSU in 1996 is a school best.

7. Damon Williams

WR 1995-1998

Though he will probably best be remembered for a dropped game tying touchdown

pass in the fourth quarter against the USC, Damon Williams is the most prolific

pass receiver in UNLV history. His 2,558 yards receiving and 187

receptions place him on top of UNLV's all time list.

8. Glenn Carano

QB 1973-1976

Carano threw for over

2,000 yards in each of his last two seasons and totaled 37 touchdown passes in

his career, the last two of which saw him as a starter. Carano is only one

of four Rebel quarterbacks to surpass 5,000 yards at the school. Carano

was selected in the second round by the Dallas Cowboys in 1977, where he backed

up Roger Staubach and Danny White for seven years.

9.

Ickey

Woods RB

1984-1987

Ickey Woods breaks into the top ten UNLV football players of all-time because of

one spectacular season. In 1987, Woods won the NCAA rushing title with

1,658 yards. Woods bruised his way to 10 touchdowns with a 6.4 yards per

carry average. That season was good enough to catapult Woods to being the

highest Rebel ever selected in the NFL draft (#31 to Cincinnati).

10. Nick

Garritano

K 1991-1994

Nick Garritano was known for his booming leg. Garritano booted five field

goals greater than 50 yards in 1994, including one on UNLV's Las Vegas Bowl

victory over Central Michigan, a game in which he tied the UNLV record with four

field goals in one game. His 21 field goals in 1994 is the most in UNLV

history. The all conference player also connected on 54 career field goals

for the Rebels, topping 38 by Jim Cook.
