I know he's been talked about, and obviously all here know his talents and exploits.

I wanted to just say this kid deserves to be an All-American at the all purpose position. He wasn't on Phil Steele's All-MAC KR spot, which I was surprised, but he was 3rd team at WR.

Just look at what he's done.

Receiving: 58 grabs, 507 yds, 8.7 ypc, 3 TDs, and 63.38 ypg
Rushing: 19 carries, 272 yds, 14.3 ypc, and 34.0 ypg
Kick Returns: 10 returns, 28.0 avg per return, 1 TD that went 99
Punt Returns: 6 returns, 22 total yards
Passing: 1-1 for 17 yards and a TD

He returned punts whil AJ was hurt, and wasn't great, but did it anyways.

Now passing doesn't count for all-purpose yards but here are those numbers.

Total all-purpose yards: 1,081
All-Purpose per game: 135.125

I don't know what the average is or who the leader statistically is, but that's pretty solid stuff. I know Archer had an average of 184 all purpose yards a game last year. Not a lot of players can carry the burden of touches TLL gets. He's also 5-7, 155.

He's a great Huskie!

TLL now is the MAC leader in catches per game and third in all purpose yards.

He's a great Huskie!

It goes largely unnoticed, but TLL is a very good blocker. Bob Chmiel was really impressed when TLL blocked an EMU LB on a long run by Lynch. TLL got knocked back by the LB, but he held him up long enough for Lynch to get in the clear. TLL is a COMPLETE football player!

As good as his receiving numbers are, they'd be even better if we didn't run the ball so effectively. I'd put TLL right up there with Archer and Reedy.
