BYU football: Receiver Devon Blackmon peaking toward a strong finish

PROVO — When addressing the media Tuesday, senior BYU receiver Devon Blackmon was all smiles, putting forth a relaxed and engaging attitude. An attitude that comes about with being comfortable in your environment.

He joked back and forth with quarterback Tanner Mangum and made the gathered media laugh on several occasions while feeling confident with where he's at currently and where he's going.

On the field, Blackmon is coming off his best performance to date statistically, hauling in nine receptions for 142 yards in Saturday's 45-38 win over East Carolina. Time and again he showed a good connection with Mangum while demonstrating the type of quickness and speed that made him such an attractive recruit when he signed with the program in 2014.
