When players have breakout seasons as freshmen or redshirt freshmen, often there is worry that they will have a decline in production the following year.
Middle Tennessee redshirt sophomore wide receiver Richie James is proving this season that adage is a myth.
Following his redshirt freshman season in which James set school and freshman Conference USA records with 108 receptions and 1,346 yards, it would have been easy to think there would be no way he could play even better. But, through 10 games this year, he just might be.
"He's a great player and great players shouldn't drop off," MT offensive coordinator Tony Franklin said.
