Correy Earls #15
Class: RS Sophomore
Hometown: Macon, Ga.
High School: Central
Weight: 190
Position: Wide Receiver
Birthdate: 12/04/1988
Arguably the fastest player on the Georgia Tech roster... his playing time and contributions at wide receiver increased as the 2007 season progressed... was one of the best stories of the year in 2007... suffered a scary head injury that caused him to lose all feeling in his legs and left him lying on the turf for more than 15 minutes at Virginia (Sept. 22)... wore a bulky neck brace for the next two weeks but returned, after missing just two games, to become one of Tech's top receivers... also emerged as a dangerous kick returner... has tools to play the A-back position but enters the fall at receiver.
2007
Played in 11 games and started the final two games of the regular season... missed the Sept. 29 Clemson game and the Oct. 6 Maryland game after suffering a scary injury Sept. 22 at Virginia... had one rushing attempt for three yards... caught 14 passes for 188 yards (13.4 ypr)... had one TD reception... returned eight kickoffs for an average of 27.0 yards per return... caught at least one pass in each of the last five games of the regular season... demonstrated his outstanding speed in the Samford game (Sept. 8) when he returned two kickoffs for 110 yards and caught one short pass for seven yards... was having his best game of the year at Virginia (Sept. 22) -- two catches for 21 yards and a kickoff return of 21 yards -- before suffering an injury that left him lying on the Scott Stadium turf for more than 15 minutes... sat out the next two games -- vs. Clemson and at Maryland... returned to action at Miami (Oct. 13) and had one reception for 13 yards... had three kickoff returns for 52 yards and caught one pass for nine yards vs. Virginia Tech (Nov. 1)... emerged as a star of the future at Duke (Nov. 10), recording five receptions for 86 yards and his first career touchdown... his 38-yard TD pass from Taylor Bennett in the fourth quarter sealed the deal against the Blue Devils... had one rush, one reception and one kickoff return for a combined 33 yards vs. North Carolina (Nov. 17)... caught two passes for 28 yards vs. Georgia (Nov. 24).
