He led all receivers in the three main scrimmages with 14 catches for 256 yards (18.3 per) and four touchdowns. He also averaged 7.8 yards on five punt returns (long of 27). He was the Iron Buffalo Award winner for the receivers in the spring, presented to the player at each position who represents hard work, dedication, toughness and total poundage lifted in the weight room.
2008 (Fr.-RS)-He missed the first five games of the year with a broken collarbone, returned to play in two games (against Kansas and Texas A&M), and then missed the last three after suffering the same injury. In his brief time back, he returned two punts, one for four yards and the other for a 5-yard loss when he muffed the catch. He switched to wide receiver from safety for spring drills, and had an excellent spring at his new position as well as emerging as a candidate to return kicks. He caught six passes for 110 yards and a touchdown in the three main scrimmages, also returning nine punts for 91 yards with a long runback of 45 yards.
