Not much is missing from the Jerrel Jernigan repertoire. One of the most versatile players in the country, the Troy wide receiver/returner/runner has just about done it all in his career there. In his senior season, Jernigan is poised to have his name etched all over the school and Sun Belt record books.

Jerrel Jernigan's 2,730 receiving yards is a new conference record.Just last week against Middle Tennessee, Jernigan set the Sun Belt record for receiving yards with 2,730. He now stands two receptions behind Danny Grant (215) for the all-time Troy record for career receptions and 16 catches behind former North Texas receiver Casey Fitzgerald (229) for the league career mark.
He already holds the school record for career all-purpose yards. So far this season, he ranks No. 4 in the country in all-purpose yards, averaging 178 a game. His speed certainly helps. Jernigan said he ran the 40 in 4.28 seconds last year at junior pro day at his school. His mother ran track in high school and his father played basketball, but he says he has no idea where he got his speed. He also says he doesn’t do much to work on it -- he has always been naturally fast.
