In total catches, Collie leads the way (95), followed by Crabtree (93), Maclin (88) and Bryant (74).

In total receiving yards, Collie is the leader (1,414) followed by Bryant (1,313), Maclin (1,175) and Crabtree (1,135).

In catches per game, Collie has the edge (7.82), followed by Crabtree (7.75), Maclin (7.33) and Bryant (6.17).

In receiving yards per game, Collie leads them all (118.25), followed by Bryan (109.42), Maclin (97.92) and Crabtree (94.58).

Finally, in two categories, Collie doesn't dominate. In yards per catch, you go with Bryant (17.74), followed by Collie (14.94), Crabtree (13.35) and Maclin (12.20).

In touchdown catches, Bryant is tied with Crabtree (18), followed by Collie (15) and Maclin (11).

"I wouldn't trade him for anybody," said Doman.

Whether or not Collie earns All-America honors in coming days will be determined by a panel of voters. If he fails, perhaps the difference will be TV exposure, because statistics do not lie.

This kid is pretty good. Like Chad Hall of Air Force in 2007, he's a non-QB who made a great case for MWC Offensive Player of the Year.
