Easton Messer can't stop scoring touchdowns for Florida Atlantic, goes for 4 vs UTSA

Messer scored his 12th touchdown of the Owls' last three games in Florida Atlantic 's 60-29 win over UTSA on Thursday, Nov. 5, scoring three times in the first quarter alone. He caught eight passes for 85 yards with three touchdowns in the win, along with a 14-yard touchdown pass.

Messer, a former walk-on, is listed at 5-foot-9, 170 pounds and was a two-star recruit out of high school, per 247Sports' Composite rankings.
