When Oregon State wide receivers coach James Finley first evaluated Jesse Legree, he envisioned a solid freshman season for a talented, uber-athletic player who had been overlooked by the rest of the country. “Maybe 400 [receiving] yards, maybe 500,” Finley told The Post. Just seven games into the Beavers’ season, Legree has more than doubled those numbers, racking up 1,040 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns while establishing himself as one of the best pass-catchers in college football and putting together a fringe Heisman Trophy candidacy.
