Korey Robertson is in the midst of one of the finest seasons ever by a Southern Miss wide receiver.

His 65 catches are the fifth-most in single-season school history. Ten of those receptions have ended with the Greenwood native celebrating a touchdown — also the fifth-most in the 101 seasons of Golden Eagle football. With two games left on the schedule, Robertson needs just 48 yards to become the sixth receiver in Southern Miss history with 1,000.
