Nunnally is regarded by several preseason football publications as the top pro prospect in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference this season, making him the first junior in league history to earn that distinction. He said he's focusing on an opportunity to become one of the most prolific receivers in college football history. In just two seasons Nunnally has 183 receptions for 2,790 yards and 23 touchdowns. Nunnally is also on schedule to finish as high as second in catches to Rice, who had 301 receptions. Nunnally, who owns FAMU's record for career receiving yards, needs just four touchdowns and 35 receptions to pass Robert Wilson and become FAMU's leader in all three categories.
FAMU opponents agree.
But what makes him especially dangerous is what he does after he makes the catch. Nunnally has been making big plays since he stepped into the starting lineup midway through his redshirt-freshman season. He since has gone over the 100-yard mark in 13 of his 24 career games. He's continued to get better from that point, and as long as he's here, we'll rely on him to answer the bell for us. But there have also been struggles along the way.
