Is the kicker the all-time leading scorer at most colleges?

[Lamoni]

I know in the NFL the kicker's lead the league in most points scored most of the time but I would imagine this isn't as common in college football due to less FGs, revolving kickers, and seasons in which one player can score 20-30 TDs. I began thinking about this while listening to an interview with Nate Kaeding and learning he is Iowa's all-time leader.

I checked some blue bloods and they mostly have kickers:

Kickers get a point every TD while the 6 is spread around. Kickers get all the points for FG. They have less competition and a good one will get 3-4 years.
