I wonder why they don't give Marcell Porter (#34 on your program) a shot at it. He's very quick and has great speed. Plus @ 5'7" X 177 he can initially hid behind a blocking wedge very well. I know he should be able to field a KO/punt because he caught a pretty long pass in a scrimmage last year.

Wedge is now illegal and can only have a 2 man team that can not link up to form a "wedge" however, I would be willing to be anyone who has any wiggle at all along with break away speed will be given a long look by the new staff. I really think Littrell doesn't care how big they are as long as they can make plays.

Edit: I think he was getting reps with 2's during a Periscope video I saw unless I am mistaken.

Chancellor returned a school record three kickoffs for touchdowns in his career from 2010-13.

I would have guessed he had more than that. It seems he had a couple in the K-State game his freshman year alone.

While he didn't return two for touchdowns against K-State, he did have back-to-back games where he returned a kickoff for a touchdown (ULM and Kansas State). Then he went all the way to the Georgia game before he returned another for a TD.
