College career

As a freshman, he did not register a catch in two games before sitting out the rest of the season with a back injury. The next season, 2008, he rebounded from a slow start to become one of the nation’s top receivers over the final month-and-a-half of the season. In 2009 Quick caught 61 passes for a team-best 982 yards for 16.1 yards-per-catch average. As a junior in 2010, Quick earned First-team All-America honors from Sporting News and was voted Second-team All-Southern Conference by the league’s coaches and media while leading ASU with 47 receptions, 844 receiving yards, nine touchdown catches and 18.0-yards-per-catch average. In his senior year, Quick recorded 71 receptions for 1,096 yards with 11 touchdowns.[3] Sporting News named Quick to its Division I FCS All-America team as did the AFCA and he received Second-team accolades from the Associated Press and The Sports Network.
