If KJ Maye were the quitting type, he could have given up when he got expelled from middle school, or when he broke his ankle in high school, or when he suffered a sports hernia as a college sophomore. Or, most recently, when he felt lost in the Gophers’ plans a football season ago.
But the too-small high school quarterback from Mobile, Ala., never stopped believing he would be an impact player. The senior has worked tirelessly to become one of the most productive Gophers receivers in recent history. Midway through his junior year, however, he’d barely seen a pass thrown his way.
“I’m like, ‘Dang, what are they going to do?’ ” he said. “ ‘Do they have any plans for me? What’s my role? What’s my purpose?’ ”

Hoping for a few more exciting plays from KJ on Saturday.
