Biletnikoff Award watchlist. He was named a Sun Belt All-Conference player at three positions (All-purpose, wide receiver, and return specialist). In the GoDaddy Bowl, he had nine receptions for 72 yards against Ball State.[12] In 2014, the Junior again helped his team return to the GoDaddy Bowl, and again won the MVP.[13] Overall, he finished the 2014 season with 52 receptions for 629 receiving yards and nine rushes for 115 yards and a rushing touchdown.[14]

His senior year, he was named a Sun Belt All-Conference player for the third time, as both a wide receiver and all-purpose player, after recording 525 yards receiving, 112 yards rushing, and 654 kickoff return yards (5th all time, including a school record with 211 in game 7 against Toledo, and his second touchdown).[8] He was injured early in the New Orleans Bowl, but still recorded three receptions for 26 yards, three rushes for 25 yards, a 9-yard completed pass, and an 18-yard kickoff return against Louisiana Tech.[15][16][17]

He was named to the all-Arkansas State team in 2017. He ended his career with 289 receptions (a Sun Belt Conference record), for 2,838 yards (a school record) and 11 touchdowns, returned 53 kickoffs for 1,473 yards with an average return of 27.8 yards.
