Previous Experience
Thomasville, N.C.

Former walk-on quietly put together one of the most prolific seasons by a wide receiver in ASU history a year ago ... an honorable-mention all-American after leading ASU with 85 receptions last season (second-most in school history) ... sure-handed receiver boasts top-notch speed, route-running ability and toughness ... is slotted to be the starter at ASU’s ‘M’ receiver position as a senior ... eligibility was originally set to expire following last season but midway through the campaign, the NCAA granted him a medical redshirt for the 2006 season, when he suffered a season-ending back injury after just three games ... comes into his final season as the ninth-leading receiver in ASU history with 109 career receptions.

2009: While perhaps overshadowed by the big-play ability of teammates Brian Quick and CoCo Hillary, it was Cline that caught the second-most passes in school history with 85 receptions as a junior ... earned honorable-mention all-America recognition from The Sports Network but, amazingly, was not an all-conference selection by the league’s coaches or media ... ranked second in the SoCon and tied for fourth nationally in total receptions ... his 981 receiving yards were just one less than Quick’s team-best 982 and good for third in the SoCon and 15th nationally ... caught no fewer than three passes in all 14 games ... hauled in five or more receptions 11 times and eight or more on five occasions ... had five 100-yard receiving games ... after catching 18 passes for 175 yards over the first four games of the season, had a breakout performance with eight receptions for 107 yards in homecoming win over North Carolina Central ... two weeks later, he caught a career-high 10 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown in 52-16 rout over Georgia Southern ... the 10 receptions versus GSU marked the first time a Mountaineer hauled in double-digit catches since DaVon Fowlkes set a school record with 17 receptions against Elon in 2004 ... the following week, during a driving rainstorm at Furman, he hauled in eight passes for a career-best 122 yards to help pace a 52-27 rout ... caught eight passes for 104 yards to help ASU wrap up fifth-consecutive SoCon title with 27-10 demolition at Elon ... performance at Elon capped a six-game span during which he totaled 44 receptions for 540 yards (7.3 rec. and 90 yards per game) ... after two relatively quiet games versus Western Carolina (4 rec., 35 yds.) and S.C. State (3-43), exploded for nine catches for 87 yards in national quarterfinals at Richmond ... capped the performance with the biggest catch of his career and ASU’s biggest of the season, dropping to his knees to haul in a four-yard touchdown pass from Armanti Edwards with 10 seconds remaining that proved to be the winning points in ASU’s 35-31 triumph ... overcame a vicious hit in the next week’s national semifinals at Montana to catch seven passes for 101 yards ... midway through the second quarter at UM, Cline was leveled by a clean hit from Griz DB Keith Thompson along the right sideline ... he jogged off the field, missed only one play and recorded five catches for 50 yards after the notorious hit.

That kid had no business being on the field after that hit at Montana. He didn't know where he was. That was a completely irresponsible move by the coaches, especially with all the new science connecting football to early onset dementia. I hope we don't read about this guy 15-20 years from now unable to remember his own name.
