I’m not going to say that I’m surprised about how well he played this season, because I witnessed the three-sport athlete during his junior season. But, his impact was so great this year. His ability to make big play after big play can’t be understated. Catching short passes, to catching the deepest of passes, to intercepting passes to clinch victories. His competitive drive was evident on the field. He also became the third player in school history to have over 200 yards receiving in a game. He was named All-Conference 1st Team at wide receiver and defensive back.
