The stats: Since moving from receiver to cornerback six weeks ago, he has 16 tackles, eight assists, four pass break ups, one forced fumble and three interceptions.

Who is he: A 5-11, 165-pound senior, who had not played football since his freshman season

He said it: "It [the concussion] occurred on their second drive. It was a screen to [Cam] McDaniel. I was getting blocked and just tried to slide off the block, stick my body out there and make a tackle. I took a knee to the head. I was woozy, but it was still fun playing. I wasn't totally out of it, but I saw stars."

Coach said it: "He's really savvy and a great competitor. He could start for us at receiver, no problem, but we need him more on defense. He's just got great ability to make a play on the ball in the air." – Bryan Erwin
