Nick Narcisse was Tulane’s vertical threat, not a volume hog
In the 2002 season, Nick Narcisse gave Tulane a reliable downfield option: 21 catches for 340 yards and 2 touchdowns, with a team-best 16.2 yards per catch among the top receivers[1]. He missed four games with a shoulder injury that year, so the stat line comes with some grit, and Tulane’s notes repeatedly frame him as the deep threat who stretched defenses when the offense needed a spark[1][3]. If a team wants a receiver who can separate vertically and win the “take the top off” role, Narcisse fits the bill.
