In his senior year, E.G. cemented his place as one of college football's finest receivers with his second 1000 yard season. He ended 1997 with 54 catches for 1059 yards and 11 touchdowns, and was named a 2nd Team All-American by both the Associated Press and the Football News.

During his 5 years as a player from 1993–97, Florida State amassed a 56-6-1 record.
