This one is basically a no brainer if you watched the morning match up between the Aggies and the Hogs. Kirk was all over the field, showing why he’s projected high in the draft and why he is a senior captain on this Aggie squad.

What did Kirk do you ask? Oh, he just scored two touchdowns. One to tie the game at 7-7 and one to win it and returned a kick off 100 yards for another score. The senior wide out hasn’t been a huge part of the offense so far this season, but on Saturday morning he reminded everyone why he’s one of the best Texas A&M has to offer.

Not only did Kirk make plays when the team needed them most, but he just simply made every play he could. He encouraged others to do the same, he kept the teams spirits up and excited about the task at hand.

I mean what’s more exciting than your returner going 100 yards for a score to let you rest through another defensive series? That’s always appreciated- especially by Kellen Mond I’m sure. Between his 136 return yards and 110 receiving yards, Kirk certainly had a day to remember.

Will Kirk continue to be the star the Aggies need as they complete SEC play? Who knows, but for now he sure earned this helmet sticker. And apparently star NFL receiver Larry Fitzgerald agrees.

Let’s see if he can win that Biletnikoff Trophy.
