Norfolk State’s explosive all-time big-play WR
In the 2003 season, Howard Gilmore was a true difference-maker for Norfolk State, finishing with 47 catches for 829 yards and earning MEAC and national weekly honors after a 13-catch, 305-yard eruption against Morgan State—the best single-game receiving total in MEAC history. He was a first-team All-MEAC receiver in 2004, led the Spartans in receiving yards and touchdowns, and brought legitimate speed-playmaker juice with documented 4.7-range speed and strong return value. If you want a receiver who can tilt coverage, generate chunk plays, and rise in big moments, Gilmore checks the box in a loud way.
