No. 93 - Michael High Sets Kickoff Return Record in 1993
North Texas entered the home opener of the 1993 season with an 0-2 record, coming off a heart-breaking, one-point loss at Northern Arizona the week before, where the Mean Green failed to score on a two-point try with 3:06 remaining. Any doubts of a carryover effect were dashed when North Texas kick returner Michael High ran the opening kick against Missouri State 99 yards for a touchdown.
High returned 27 kicks for 750 yards in 1993, which was the North Texas record for kick return yardage in a season, until Brelan Chancellor broke that mark in 2010. High, a wide receiver from Conroe, Texas, led the team in kick return yardage in 1992 as well, but broke out during his junior year of 1993. High's 99-yard return, which is the longest in school history, helped North Texas to a one-point victory over Missouri State that day, as the Mean Green prevailed 34-33.
High returned one other kick for a touchdown in 1993, taking back a kick 89 yards against Nicholls State. The 89-yard return gave North Texas a 42-7 lead, answering the Colonels' first score moments earlier.
High had three games with 100+ kick return yards in 1993, including a season-high of 146 against Nebraska in the season opener. He ranked 7th in Division 1-AA in kick return yards, while averaging 27.8 yards per return.
Also considered: 9.3 points allowed in 1958, the fewest in a single North Texas season
