His receptions (7.09) and receiving yards (86.18) per game averages ranked second and third, respectively, in the conference and 16th and 25th, respectively, in the nation. A team captain, he set a Pioneer Football League record with 17 receptions in a game against Jacksonville, also totaling 246 yards and a touchdown to earn the PFL Offensive Player of the Week award and a College Football Performance Awards honorable mention. He also had a 13-catch, 131–yard performance against eventual league co-champion Butler.
