Hard to say but for UConn my favorite is Walt Dropo

While at UConn, Dropo played for the [B]football[/B] team, [B]basketball[/B] team and baseball team. [I]He left UConn as the school's all-time leading scorer in basketball.  [/I]Dropo was drafted in the first round of the 1947 BAA Draft by the Providence Steamrollers with the fourth overall pick. Dropo was also drafted by the Chicago Bears in the 9th round of the 1946 NFL Draft.

He was [B]American League rookie of the year[/B] for the Red Sox.
