Michael Crabtree - remember the name!...as a redshirt freshman last season, Crabtree sprouted onto the national scene with a mind boggling 134 receptions for 1,962 yards and 22 touchdowns...



Crabtree played "bigtime" against the big opponents...he led the team with 12 catches for 154 yards and a touchdown in Tech's upset of No. 3-ranked Oklahoma...against the Texas Longhorns, he made a team-high nine catches for 195 yards and two touchdowns...let's not forget the man throwing him the ball, Graham Harrell...



At the end of the year Crabtree walked away with the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's best receiver...he also took home the Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Year...Scout.com had this to say about Crabtree, "Michael Crabtree is the best receiver the school has ever produced, and that includes Wes Welker." ...



The Blue Ribbon Preview had this, "Crabtree, who made the Blue Ribbon and Playboy preseason All-America teams, among many others, has always been a strong receiver, able to keep corners from pressing on the line, but in the spring he showed he's even stronger and his technical skills, such as route running, are even sharper."...



As an interesting sidenote, when asked what his favorite activities are, Crabtree listed "cutting hair"...after watching this 3:30 clip, you will realize that Crabtree also loves to cut up defenses...
