"Though I will not be playing in the Orange Bowl, I will be there in Miami to support my teammates like I always have." “I have tried to the best of my ability to honor those who have come before me and pay it froward for those who will come after. That Volunteer spirit will remain with me forever as I pursue a lifelong dream of playing in the NFL." The Biletnikoff Award winner led the SEC in catches (67) with 1,267 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns.
