Gordon E. Wilson Award (Oregon's Top Special Teams Standout)
2016 — His performance in the season opener vs. UC Davis only strengthened his reputation as one of the nation's most versatile players, accumulating a career single-game best 288 yards all-purpose yards . . . Not only did he return four punts for a personal all-time one-game high 98 yards, four kickoffs for 153 yards and tally 31 yards in receptions, he successfully converted two of four two-point conversions against the Aggies . . . Accounted for one additional games over 200 all-purpose yards (240 vs. Washington State) . . . Oregon’s career leader in kickoff return yards with 2,173 (89 attempts) was third in the nation in kickoff return yards (879), averaging 25.85 yards per runback . . . Opened nine games his junior year at wide receiver after starting the last eight outings at safety in 2015 . . . Accounted for the season’s first special teams touchdown against Washington State (100-yard kickoff return), becoming the only player in school history to mount returns over the century mark multiple times in career kickoffs . . . The Ducks’ receptions leader (52) grabbed a career-high eight catches (80 yards) at Nebraska as well as a season-best 85 yards the next week vs. Colorado to finish second on the team in receiving yardage (544) . . . Tied for a team-high five TD clutches and tacked on six more points through PAT conversions to finish fourth on the team in scoring (42) . . . The honorable mention all-conference selection accumulated 13 plays where he gained 30 yards or more from scrimmage or the kicking game . . . His 814 plays topped all of his counterparts on his side of the football other than a trio of offensive linemen.
2015 — One of the program's most versatile athletes in recent memory possesses the ability to shine at almost any position on the field of his choosing . . . Following a trial in the defensive secondary during the 2015 spring drills, he began the fall back on offense, starting three consecutive games at wide receiver after missing the season opener . . . Proceeded to open the final eight contests at safety, posting a team-high 12 tackles (6 unassisted) in his first collegiate action on defense against Washington State and tying for second on the team with a pair of interceptions (vs. Oregon State and TCU) . . . The Pac-12's first-team all-conference choice as an all-purpose standout was credited with a career-best 15 tackles (14 solo) in the win at Arizona State in addition to returning a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, earning the honor of conference special teams player of the week . . . He completed the night returning four kickoffs for a season-high 185 all-purpose yards . . . Took part in more than 100 plays on three occasions, including 140 vs. the Cougars and 133 in Tempe, Ariz. . . . The Ducks' ninth-leading tackler (47 stops and 35 unassisted) and fifth-best receiver (17 catches, 270 yards) ranked third in the Pac-12 (20th nationally) in kickoff returns (26.5 avg.) and 10th in the conference in all-purpose yardage (105.5 avg.) . . . He continued to be utilized as an offensive weapon after the switch to the other side of the ball, latching onto five passes for 73 yards and two scores in his final five appearances while averaging 5.6 tackles per game as a full-time defender . . . Also ran for 115 yards on six carries, including a 75-yard score in the win at Stanford among his 88 rushing yards . . . Encountered his first action of the season at Michigan State, tying a previous high with seven catches for 79 yards . . . Scored his first touchdown of the season at Colorado – a 39-yard touchdown toss from fellow receiver Bralon Addison . . . Finished the game with two receptions for 44 yards and a score, while also running back four kickoffs for 124 yards to finish with 168 all-purpose yards.
2014 — The second-team Freshman All-American (Scout.com) emerged as Oregon’s top special teams player on the year, developing into an offensive threat as the year progressed . . . Burst onto the scene with a 50-yard punt return for a touchdown in his collegiate debut vs. South Dakota before duplicating that feat from 58 yards out later in the year at California . . . Yet the second-team all-league standout played a crucial role as a kick coverage specialist, leading the team in special teams tackles (17) while attracting more than one blocker on a regular basis . . . Accumulated a 15.5-yard punt return average that would have ranked fourth in the country had he met the minimum number of returns (11 att., 171 yds.) while leading the Ducks with 19.0-yard kickoff return average (22 att., 418 yds.) . . . Finished third on the team in all-purpose yards (67.8 avg.) and tied for fifth in scoring (42 pts.) as he polished his game from a receiving standpoint as the year wore on . . . Completed the year with 23 catches for 327 yards and five TDs, with 20 of his grabs taking place in his last seven games of the season . . . Enjoyed a season-high seven catches for 104 yards in the Pac-12 Championship game against Arizona . . . Reeled in a pair of touchdown receptions in both the Colorado and Oregon State games as he reached the end zone in four of the last five regular-season outings . . . Was the recipient of the Gordon E. Wilson Award (Oregon’s Top Special Teams Standout) following the regular season . . . Transitioned to the defensive secondary for the greater portion of 2015 spring drills yet saw ample time on the offensive side of the ball in the Spring Game . . . Led all receivers with five catches for 144 yards, including touchdown grabs of 52 and 46 yards, in addition to posting three tackles and the spring exhibition's lone interception . . . Doubled as a key component on the school's national championship track team as a true freshman, running the third leg on the third-fastest 4x100 relay in school history at the NCAA West Regional meet in Austin, Texas . . . The quartet finished with the 10th-fastest prelim time at the NCAA Championships in Eugene . . . Also qualified for the long jump at the West Regional with a season-best 24-0.75 (7.33m) and ran a 2015-best 100 meters (10.94) at the Pepsi Invitational.
