What about this guy? Anybody know anything about him? Keyarris Garrett. 6'3" 220
The year 2015 was a great one to be a wide receiver from Texas. Baylor's Corey Coleman won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's best at the position by scoring an eye-popping 20 touchdowns. TCU's Josh Doctson, also an All-American, was one of just two receivers to beat Coleman's 113.6 receiving yards per game (120.6) - the "other" being the native Texan, Garrett, whose explosive combination of size and speed helped the Golden Hurricane receiver rip through the American Athletic Conference to the tune of 122.2 yard average over 13 games.
After a breakout 2012 season in which he earned Second All-Team All-Conference USA honors as a true sophomore with nine touchdown receptions, it appeared that Garrett was well on his way to superstardom. Instead, his 2013 campaign was ruined by a compound fracture suffered in the second game of the year (Colorado State), which required season-ending surgery and Garrett didn't look like the same player a year later, posting relatively pedestrian numbers (47 receptions for 698 yards and five scores) while missing another two games due to injury.
While Garrett didn't face the same caliber of competition in the AAC as some of this year's more recognizable names at receiver, it is worth noting that some of the more physically dominating pass-catchers in the NFL - like Antonio Brown (Central Michigan), Brandon Marshall (Central Florida) and T.Y. Hilton (Florida International) - came from relatively small school backgrounds.
