Texas Tech WR Michael Crabtree is putting up incredible numbers in Mike Leach’s Air Raid Offense, yet has attracted little national attention. Crabtree, just a red shirt freshman, was a high school quarterback in Texas who Mike Leach converted to wide receiver. Crabtree has already broken the record for touchdown receptions by a freshman, with 17. With 6 games still to be played, Crabtree is on pace to break the NCAA Division 1 record of 27 TDs held by Jerry Rice and Troy Edwards.

Crabtree, who has emerged as the top target for Graham Harrell, is a legitimate top receiving prospect, with ideal size at 6′3 and boasts a solid vertical jump of 34 inches from his days as a basketball player.  Crabtree is just starting to get some attention, but the average fan still has not heard of him. If he can keep his record breaking pace up, that will soon change.
