re: Is Dylan Crews the most decorated team sport athlete in LSU history?

Boom

No

The scoring record isn't relevant

I beg to differ. Then take away Crews BA then.
He would have to hit .750 to equal Pete’s 44 a game.
And there’s a fact that Pete would’ve been a fourth time all American and lead the nation is scoring for four years. Freshman didnt play remember.

Burrow would have to had passed for 8000yds in 2019 to equal what Pete did every single season.
With that as far as baseball,
Ben was a 2X AA, Won a Gold medal by pitching the USA to 2 wins and was on the Elite 8 basketball team in 1987.

While not a national title that elite 8 is really damn strong

Track hands out national titles for different disciplines, and is a highly individual sport. The team score is combined to determine team championships, but the individual scores determine individual champions. I know you know all of this, but I'm pointing it out because that's a lot different from the kind of team sport the OP is referring to. Tommy White, for instance, didn't win the co-national rbi championship. Skenes didn't win the strikeout national championship.

Track is kind of goofy in how they set so many different distances, giving opportunities for all those different "championships" for doing things that all mostly involve running. And naming them an all-American for every individual accomplishment, instead of for everything they do, as a whole, once per year, as they do in regular team sports.

Dylan Crews is almost as decorated as he could possibly be for his sport. If they handed out all-American recognition for each thing that he excels at, every year, he'd probably be a 27 time all-American.

Hes up there. Bregman would have been up there too if he could have won that Championship his Junior year.

That's fantastic, but it's not relevant to the awards (most decorated). Crews didn't win the Golden Spikes because he had the highest average or most home runs (he didn't), he was selected for his overall body of work. Same for Maravich... his scoring led to his awards, but I don't think they handed out a specific award for Most Points, etc. If they do, it's not POY. Records are not awarded. They may lead to someone winning one, but a lot of scoring leaders weren't POY in basketball. Don't get wadded up, I'm not discrediting Pete in any way. I'm differentiating between achievements and awards.

Ok
4 time first team all American. 4 time SEC POTY when UK and Rupp was in your league. Naismith POTY in 1970. The award started in 1969 and given to Lew Alcindor AKA Kareem, the only other year he could have won it.

How about 30/30 or SEC Specials, Movies, Documentaries, and on and on written and made about you or the building named after you? How’s that?

There’s not another single athlete that has ever played at LSU that has been as “decorated”. There weren’t all those awards then to split up. It is like Bowl games then versus today. Different times.
