Mohamed Massaquoi is one of the country's finest receivers. Right now, he is leading the nation's longest winning streak at Independence High School. Massaquoi says the streak was not a distraction, but an expectation.

"It is really just natural. This is how it was supposed to be. The coaches told us what would happen if we put the work in, so it is not a distraction. This is what we expected to do."

Massaquoi followed up a stellar junior year with a great senior campaign. During the regular season, he posted 57 catches for 1,100 yards and 20 touchdowns. Those numbers made him an easy selection for the North Carolina Shrine Bowl team.

"I am still focused on winning a state title, but it was very big honor for me when I found out. I was really excited, but then I turned my focus back to the season."

Massaquoi remains firmly committed to the Georgia Bulldogs, along with quarterback and teammate Joe Cox.
