After committing to Oklahoma in mid-Nov., four-star receiver Marvin Mims broke the state and national record for receiving yards in a single-season.
The Frisco Lone Star High School (Frisco, Texas) product needed 156 yards to break the Texas state record of 2,427 yards, and broke that with a 62-yard touchdown in the third quarter of Lone Star’s regional final against Lancaster High School. The previous record was set in 1998.
He broke the national single-season record deep into the third quarter, breaking the previous record of 2,464 yards set by J.P. Shohfi in 2015, with a 6-yard reception late in the third quarter of Lone Star’s game.
Mims finished with 214 yards on 10 catches with two touchdowns in his win Friday night. He now has seven games with over 200 receiving yards this season, one with 303 yards and three touchdowns.
If Frisco Lone Star can make it to the state championship, he’ll get his chance at the Texas record for career receiving yards, set by former Longhorn Jordan Shipley who had 5,342 yards from 2000-03.
Mims will sign with Oklahoma on the early National Signing Day on Dec. 18.
