Cam Boykin and Tommy Halloway, they were selected 2nd team all-conference as sophomores it’ll be exciting to see what they do these next two years

What is the one song that would fire you up before the biggest game of your life?

Definitely, have to go with “Who I do it for” by YFN Lucci, gets me locked in and relaxes my nerves and body before the game

If you could compare your play to one player in the NFL who would it be and why?

I would definitely say, Antonio Brown. We both don’t really have the height of a pure receiver but can run great routes and create separation. I played mainly outside receiver in college but I can go into the slot as well like AB. I try to model my game and work ethic after his in so many ways.

Being a smaller receiver in the very competitive conference. It took a lot of dedication in the offseason and film study to help reach my goals that I did throughout my career

FaceTime my Mom a couple hours before the game and get my pep talk. Post a game day picture on Instagram and pray at the 10-yard line before kickoff.

What was the most memorable play of your collegiate career?

Definitely, have to be scoring the game-winning touchdown with 30 something seconds left in the game. They were man to man coverage and it was 4&7. I was backside 1 on 1. I was going to run a speed out at first until I saw the coverage. My QB looked over at me right before the snap and I gave him the signal for a slant at the last second. The ball was snapped he threw me the slant and I broke the tackle and took it 33 yards for the win.

What is the coolest thing you ever did off the field for someone else?

Definitely building a relationship with my little buddy Gavin who we helped through the make a wish foundation. Just being there for him and his family has definitely meant a lot to me and we keep in contact till this day.

Los Angeles Chargers
