The freshman averaged an astounding 24.5 yards per catch, which included a 30-yard touchdown reception, 50-yard reception that set up a Spartan field goal and a crucial 31-yard haul that gave MSU A first and goal and led to the game winning touchdown.
The last MSU freshman to win the honor was starting quarterback, Rocky Lombardi, in 2018.
