The Nicholls State University football team put forth its best offensive showing of the season last weekend with 21 points and 418 yards of total offense, but the Colonels could not hold off South Alabama as the Jaguars pulled away for a 39-21 win in Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Ala. Saturday afternoon.

Highlighting the Colonels’ ground attack was former Rayne High standout Andrew Wynn.

The 5-11, 170 lbs. wide receiver was part of an 86-yard, four-play drive that ended with Wynn’s 62-yard touchdown reception. It was the sophomore’s first career touchdown for the Colonels, and longest reception to date.

As a freshman with Nicholls last season, Wynn particiapted in four games with all action coming on special teams.

Wynn played a host of positions during his prep career for the Rayne High Wolves including punter, defensive back, running back and wide receiver. He helped guide the Wolves to a 9-2 finish and District Runner-Up honors in 2007 as a junior. He was named All-Parish at punter in 2006 and garnered All-District and All-Parish honors as a defensive back in 2007 and 2008. Wynn was also named All-District Second Team at wide receiver in 2008.

Wynn is the son of Bill and Mayme of Rayne, a 2008 Rayne High graduate, and is majoring in accounting.
