The kid's good. I had the chance to throw to him at camp. He impressed me just as much as Hartline did 2 years ago.

Would love to see Kenny in Miami Red & White. I'd want to play with Clay Belton and Zac Dysert if I were a WR!

UT freshmen could make an impact
Stafford to compete for starting spot at 3rd wide receiver
By MAUREEN FULTON
BLADE SPORTS WRITER

When the University of Toledo football team opens camp Thursday, coach Tom Amstutz and his staff will pay extra attention to a few freshmen on offense.

Amstutz said earlier this week at Mid-American Conference football media day that freshman Kenny Stafford is expected to compete for the starting third wide receiver spot. Stafford, a 6-foot-4, 185-pounder from Columbus, is the nephew of former NFL star Cris Carter.

"I normally don't do this too much, but there's a really talented wide receiver that's a true freshman coming in, Kenny Stafford," Amstutz said. "He's had a tremendous summer of working out. The kid's very talented, he's a big receiver, tremendous hands and quickness. I wouldn't be surprised if he plays an important role on our team."

At Columbus St. Francis DeSales High School, Stafford had 25 catches for 444 yards and six touchdowns his senior year. Rivals.com ranked him as the 24th-best player in Ohio.

"We can tell how physical and fast he is by working out," Amstutz said. "He might be that special kind of guy."
