Grambling State’s Lyndon Rash is a 6’0 wide out that had a great game against Hampton. He finished with8 receptions for 90 yards, averaging 11.2 yards per catch, and a touchdown.
Grambling State QB Myles Crawley had a pretty solid game as well going 25/38 for 311 yards and 2 touchdowns. That Manning Camp invite improved his stock.
Tuskegee Wideout Antonio Meeks had a dominating game, hauling in 6 receptions for 149 yards and one touchdown. His longest reception was for 44 yards, defeating the HBCU Division 2 runner up for the National Championship Game in HBCU, Fort Valley State in a nail biter.
