He finished 9th in the Big 12 for receiving yards, 4th for receiving yards/catch, and 8th for touchdown catches.[3] He was also named an Honorable Mention All-Big 12 wide receiver.[4] In a game against Mississippi, he combined with Malcolm Brown and Marquise Goodwin to have a 100 yard rusher an two 100-yard receivers in the same game for only the 2nd time in school history at the time. With Jaxon Shipley he formed the 5th most productive receiving duo in school history at the time.[2]
