8/9/2016 12:00:00 AM | Football
Following Liberty's first practice of its August Training Camp on Monday, LFSN reporter Alan York had a chance to talk with Liberty sophomore wide receiver B.J. Farrow.
Farrow had a breakout season in 2015, ranking third on the team with 448 receiving yards and tied for second on the squad with two touchdown receptions. He saw playing time in all 11 contests, starting 10 games. He is one of two experienced wide receivers returning to Liberty's roster, joined by senior Zac Parker (464 receiving yards, one touchdown in 2015).
His second touchdown reception of last season was one of the most notable receptions of 2015. With time winding down on the clock in a back-and-forth battle between No. 4 Coastal Carolina, All-Big South quarterback Josh Woodrum found Farrow open over the middle of the field.
The wide receiver fended off several attempted tackles, scampering 40 yards to score the game winning touchdown with 1:27 left on the clock to give Liberty a thrilling 24-21 win over the Flames' Big South rival. Following the game-winning effort, Farrow was named the Big South Freshman of the Week.
On the practice field today, the Flames held their second practice of the year. Liberty will elevate its practice tomorrow when it works out in half pads for the first time this year. The Flames will hold their first practice in full pads on Friday.
