Javonni Cunningham is Cornell’s sparkplug in space — a speed-first WR who doubles as a dangerous kick returner
In the 2022 season, Cunningham was Cornell’s most noticeable hidden weapon: he averaged 21.9 yards per kick return and earned preseason All-Ivy recognition as a returner, while also bringing rare straight-line speed and veteran toughness to the receiver room.[4][5] Earlier Cornell and CFL coverage noted that his offensive volume was modest, but his burst, field vision, and big-play juice made him a legitimate special-teams differentiator — the kind of player who can tilt field position and flip momentum in a hurry.[2][13][14]
