Jerry Rice played college football for four seasons with the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils. He set several NCAA and team receiving records, including becoming the all-time leader in NCAA receiving touchdowns. Rice was not recruited by many major college football programs and attended Mississippi Valley State University, a public, historically black university and Division I-AA school. As a senior, he broke NCAA records for receptions, yards, and touchdowns and acquired the nickname “World” because there wasn’t a ball in the world he couldn’t catch.
