USC football: Receiver Marqise Lee is elevating his game
- Share via
USC receiver Marqise Lee does not appear to be slowing down after winning the Biletnikoff Award and finishing fourth in Heisman Trophy balloting last season.
On Monday during a full-squad drill, the All-American made a leaping catch in the end zone for a touchdown.
“He said, ‘Put it up and I’ll go get it,’” quarterback Cody Kessler said. “I threw that one and honestly, I went ‘Dang, I overthrew it.’
“He ... literally went up and got it. It’s nice to have someone that athletic.”
Last season, Lee caught a school-record 118 passes, 14 for touchdowns.
The junior also averaged 28.3 yards per kickoff return.
