Touchdown Travis
Senior Travis Reid has one record down and is approaching a couple more of modern era (1985-present) career records in receptions for the Builders. His touchdown total now stands at 22 after scoring receptions against Frostburg State and Emory & Henry. He shared the record with Andre Ross (1991-94) since the end of the 2006 season. Ross holds the career reception yards mark of 2,544 and Reid is 540 yards away from breaking that record. Reid, a Goose Creek, SC native had 48 receptions for 798 yards and seven touchdowns in 2006 when he was named first team All-ACFC. He became the third Builder receiver in the last 25 years to have 100 or more receptions with his four receptions in the opener with Fairmont State. He also became the second receiver in the last 25 years to have over 2,000 yards in receptions after his performance against Emory & Henry. Reid has 118 receptions for 2,004 yards in his career.
Franklin factors
Senior Kyle Franklin through the first three games is just ahead of his career completion percentage at 53% (35-of-65). In his career he is third in completion percentage in school (modern-era) history at 51.6%. Franklin is tied for third in career touchdown passes with 21 and is three away from Terrance Patrick who threw 24 from 1999-2002.
Builder Block Party
Last year the Builders special teams were truly special as they blocked six punts returning four of them for touchdowns and one for a safety. Senior Tony Scott had three of those blocks and started 2007 off with another one in the scrimmage game against Guilford College. Scott blocked his way into the 2007 season with a punt block in each of the first three games. His block against Frostburg was returned by Lawrence Frost for the game-clinching touchdown, while his block against Emory & Henry was returned by Joe Bruce for the final score. Scott now has 11 for his career which is a school record.
Pickoffs
Approaching the midway point of their senior seasons, Tony Scott and Franako Smith are battling for the career interception record. Scott garnered his 11th pick in the home victory over Frostburg State on September 8 to take the record. Smith answered with his 11th pick at Emory & Henry on September 22.
