He grabbed three passes but tallied 72 yards (averaged 24 yards a catch) in the season opening win over Texas-San Antonio. The 21-year-old then lifted his numbers to six catches, 73 yards and scored twice against Utah State the following week.
Notre Dame then watched the former Atlantic Coast Conference performer shred its defense — averaging 20.5 yards a catch. He later exploded on Auburn; grabbing seven catches for 113 yards and helping lead the 16-10 win there.
The 5-foot-11 WR produced one more 100-yard outing — a 158-yard one against South Carolina on Nov. 15. The slot option ends his lone Texas A&M campaign grabbing 61 passes for 919 yards with nine touchdowns.
Miami, however, handed him his worst game in bottling Concepcion to four catches for 33 yards…averaging a season-low 8.3 yards a catch. Still, he'll likely earn pre-draft buzz for his run-after-catch ability and sudden quickness off his releases.
