Jakeem Grant is seeking two things: Records and respect
Jakeem Grant often gets overshadowed for his remarkable play at Texas Tech, and it's easy to see why. He plays in the Big 12, a conference that features Josh Doctson and Corey Coleman. But is Grant really that far below those two in terms of production?
"Everybody’s talking about those guys," Grant said. "Just imagine if I was 6 feet."
Grant is 5-foot-7, 168 pounds. Yet, he trails Michael Crabtree's all-time receiving record at Texas Tech by just 155 yards. If he plays like he did against Oklahoma State vs. West Virginia, he could break that in the first half.
"It just kills me that I’m putting up these numbers and I’m still not being talked about because of my size, my height," Grant said. "I understand that. People like bigger guys. But a lot of bigger guys can’t do what I can do."
Texas Tech will look to keep its offensive machine rolling against West Virginia on Saturday.
