JONESBORO -- Arkansas State University senior wide receiver Omar Bayless is having the type of season that puts the college football world, and even NFL scouts, on notice.
Bayless is the nation's leading receiver with 689 yards, 1 yard ahead of Liberty's Antonio Gandy-Golden. Bayless also ranks fifth nationally in receptions with 36, and fifth in receiving touchdowns with seven.
"I worked real hard in the offseason and all throughout the summer camp," Bayless said. "It's really no surprise when you go to work every day and good things happen."
Bayless posted a career-high 213 yards on 10 catches, which included a 92-yard touchdown reception on the Red Wolves' opening play, on Saturday night in ASU's 50-43 road victory over Troy.
