Darrell Floyd (May 11, 1932 – March 7, 2000)[1][2] was an American college basketball All-American while playing for Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina from 1953 to 1956.

[3][4] By the time his Furman career had ended he owned a 32.1 points per game scoring average, which is the eighth-highest in NCAA history and ahead of other college greats like Elgin Baylor and Larry Bird.

[4] After graduating in 1956 with a bachelor's degree in health and physical education, Floyd spent two years serving in the United States Army.

Although he had been drafted by the St. Louis Hawks of the National Basketball Association (NBA), the league was in its fledgling state and could not offer more money than his job selling heavy machinery was paying.

Floyd holds the rare distinction of being a two-time NCAA scoring champion who never played a single game of professional basketball anywhere.
