Caden Prieskorn is turning heads and starting NFL conversations after a big first half for Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl against Penn State. Ole Miss leads 20-17 at halftime.

Prieskorn made 6 catches for 96 yards and 2 touchdowns in the first half, including a 37-yard catch that went for a score. He also has 38 yards after catch. Before Saturday, the tight end’s best game this season was 6 catches for 69 yards and a touchdown against Louisiana-Monroe.

Prieskorn came into Saturday with 20 catches for 313 yards and 2 touchdowns on the season.

Here’s his second touchdown.
