So I was looking at stats tonight and noticed that Brandon Polk has nearly 450 yards through the first half of the season. I began thinking...at this clip, with a couple of playoff games, 1000 yards receiving is a definite possibility.

When was the last time JMU had a 1000 yard receiver?

How about never. 900? Nope.

In fact, over the last 20+ years, no JMU receiver has even mounted 800 yards receiving!

In 1996 Macey Brooks had 828 yards, which appears to be the most in JMU history. The only guys that would have thought had a shot at that number would have been Juan Dorsey or Jay Jones, but since they played a few years with Macey...doubt they came close to his 1996 tally. Jay did most of his damage of special teams, I suppose.

Riley Stapleton (18), Terrance Alls(17), Brandon Ravenel (16) and Matt LeZottes favorite target, the slow but sure handed and exceptional route runner Alan Harrison are the only receivers in the last 20 years to have at least 700 yards in a season.

At this pace, Brandon Polk is not only setting up for a good year, it could be a record breaking year.
