Between the Egg Bowl upset, the head coach search that landed on Matt Luke and the looming NCAA sanctions, the Ole Miss football program has produced a lot of news in the past week. Tuesday night was no exception when wide receiver A.J. Brown was awarded the C Spire Conerly Trophy, given annually to the best college football player in the state of Mississippi.
The standout receiver continued his breakout performance from a year ago into his sophomore campaign, and he was clearly deserving of the award. His numbers were not only some of the best in school history, but they rivaled those of nearly all receivers in the country.
