All-Time Single-Game Receiving Touchdown Leaders

I thought I would put together the list of top scoring performances for receivers in Michigan history. Again, if you want to set some passing/receiving records at Michigan, make sure you’re healthy for the Indiana game.

1. 4 – Derrick Alexander (1992 vs. Minnesota)
2. 4 – Jehu Chesson (2015 vs. Indiana)
3. 3 – Ron Kramer (1955 vs. Missouri)
4. 3 – Greg McMurty (1989 vs. Minnesota)
5. 3 – Desmond Howard (1991 vs. Boston College)
6. 3 – Desmond Howard (1991 vs. Indiana)
7. 3 – Derrick Alexander (1992 vs. Northwestern)
8. 3 – David Terrell (1999 vs. Alabama)
9. 3 – David Terrell (2000 vs. Northwestern)
10. 3 – Braylon Edwards (2004 vs. Michigan State)
11. 3 – Braylon Edwards (2004 vs. Texas)
12. 3 – Mario Manningham (2006 vs. Notre Dame)
13. 3 – Jeremy Gallon (2013 vs. Notre Dame)
14. 3 – Devin Funchess (2014 vs. Appalachian State)
15. 3 – Donovan Peoples-Jones (2018 vs. SMU)
16. 3 – Nico Collins (2019 vs. Indiana)

Over one hundred players have caught 2 touchdowns in a game, so I won’t list them all.

All-Time Career Field Goals Made Leaders

With the graduation of Jake Moody – and his possible drafting this spring – I wanted to take a look back at the top field goal kickers in Michigan history.

1. 69 – Jake Moody (2018-2022)
2. 64 – Garrett Rivas (2003-2006)
3. 63 – Remy Hamilton (1993-1996)
4. 57 – Mike Gillette (1985-1988)
5. 45 – Brendan Gibbons (2010-2013)
6. 42 – Quinn Nordin (2017-2020)
7. 39 – J.D. Carlson (1989-1991)
8. 37 – Kenny Allen (2012-2016)
9. 31 – Ali Haji Sheikh (1979-1982)
10. 29 – Bob Bergeron (1981-1984)

Interestingly – to me, at least – some of the best years in modern Michigan history are not represented here, such as 1997-2002. That was right in the middle of the Lloyd Carr years. Maybe Michigan was too busy scoring touchdowns with Anthony Thomas, David Terrell, etc. to be kicking many field goals.
