Quinn, Louisiana's all-time high school receiving leader, became the only college player in this century to record at least 15 receptions in three straight games, according to ESPN's Stats and Info.


Quinn, a redshirt junior, had 17 catches for 186 yards in SMU's 31-28 overtime win at Cincinnati last Saturday. In his last three games, he's caught 49 passes for 458 yards and three touchdowns to raise his season total to 773 yards and five touchdowns.

In high school, Quinn caught a Louisiana-record 357 passes for a national-record 6,566 yards and 70 TDs.

After two seasons at LSU where he started seven of the 25 games he played with 22 catches for 276 yards, Quinn saw the handwriting on the wall when LSU's 2016 signing class had three wide receivers measuring from 6-3 to 6-6.

"I went in and talked to coaches, and at the end of the day, they almost agreed with me that they're not looking for a 5-11 guy that can't run fast or jump and all that," said Quinn when he transferred. "I'm not the prototypical receiver that they're looking for."

Several major schools wanted Quinn. But he knew SMU head coach Chad Morris, who recruited Quinn in high school, and believed he would build a program despite recent poor records.

"Regardless of the 1-11 season, 2-10, I knew the potential that this place had," Quinn told the Dallas Morning News. "I knew [Morris] was being genuine and whatever he was telling me was the truth, whether it was bad or good."
