Vote For the 2012 Mastodon Receiver of the Year

Receivers don't get nearly enough credit. Quarterbacks rack up the yards, even though the majority of them come through what the receivers do after the catch. They fight for yards, they get open, they haul in touchdowns. If it wasn't for receivers, the passing game would be shot. They are integral to the offense. Often considered the hoodlums of the team, they wouldn't gel without them. They're just as vital as the rest. Here are your nominees for the 2012 Mastodon Receiver of the Year. Vote at the bottom of the page.


Harry Cocker. With thirteen receptions on the season, it ranked fifth on the team. However, he racked up 163 yards out of those thirteen catches, which was good for fourth best on the team. He was tied for second with nine touchdown catches. His longest catch was good for 72 yards. He was a looming figure on the field.

Dave Mello. His 48 receptions was the second most on the team. With those catches, he boasted 580 total yards, good for a 12.1 average on each catch. He had the longest catch of the entire receiving core at 87 yards. His ten touchdowns led the team and he was a pest to cover.

Nick Young. The majority of his statistics may have come from one game, but that doesn't matter because they were still monster numbers. He caught twenty-two passes for 233 yards, his longest being 80 yards. His nine touchdowns all came in ONE GAME. He was truly the team's best tight end.
