Established himself as one of the nation’s top tight ends in his first collegiate season ... is a prototypical tight end — large, wide frame with good feet, hands, route-running skills and instincts ... is a more than adequate blocker considering what he brings to the table as a receiver.
2008 : Enjoyed the finest season by a freshman tight end in school history ... ranked second on the team in receptions (29), receiving yards (506) and touchdown receptions (6) en route to a plethora of postseason accolades — first-team all-SoCon (coaches and media), SoCon all-freshman team, honorable-mention all-America (The Sports Network) ... caught passes in 12-of-14 games ... his coming out party came against Presbyterian with three receptions for a season-high 97 yards ... he did not catch a pass the following week versus The Citadel but did snag at least one reception in each of the final nine games of the season ... didn’t score his first career touchdown until the eighth game of the season against Furman, but that jump-started a stretch in which he scored all six of his touchdowns over the next six games ... hauled in three passes for 76 yards, including the Mountaineers’ first two touchdowns of the game from 23 and 48 yards out, to help lead the Apps to a 70-24 rout over No. 3 Wofford ... was limited to one 38-yard catch the following week at Chattanooga, but responded with touchdowns in each of the next three games: the SoCon title-clincher versus Elon (13 yds.), at archrival Western Carolina (17 yds.) and in the first round of the NCAA Division I Football Championship against South Carolina State (6 yds.) ... also grabbed a season-high six catches in his postseason debut versus S.C. State ... the six touchdown receptions are the second-most by a freshman in ASU history, behind only the seven TDs hauled in by teammate Brian Quick in 2008.
