Zac Canty was Cornell’s go-to target and a high-volume, reliable chain-mover
In the 2008 season, Zac Canty finished his Cornell career with 141 receptions for 1,442 yards and 7 touchdowns, and he had already reached 100 career catches and 1,000 receiving yards by midseason. His calling card was dependability: he consistently got open, produced in bunches, and gave Cornell a trustworthy third-down and red-zone option. At just 5-foot-8, he wasn’t a splashy size/speed freak, but his production, toughness, and steady role as the Big Red’s featured receiver made him exactly the kind of possession threat coaches love to plug into an offense.
