According to
U.S. Presswire, UMass alum and New York Giants receiver Victor Cruz tops the list of Rising Sports Stars to watch in the month of September. The list ranks the top ten U.S. sports professionals from all major sports who experienced the greatest relative growth in popularity during the prior 30 days. Cruz has had a breakout pre-season and currently leads the league with 251 receiving yards and four touchdowns. As an undrafted free-agent wide receiver from UMass, Cruz is competing for a spot on the Giants' roster and has quickly emerged as an athlete-to-watch, with 12 catches in just three exhibition games to date.
"Sports fans love a Cinderella story and found one in Victor Cruz after his amazing one-handed scoring catch against the Jets," said Ryan Steelberg, President & CEO of BAT. "Cruz may be the next Miles Austin - an undrafted, young wide receiver who proves himself invaluable on the field."
The List:
- Victor Cruz (New York Giants)
- Arjun Atwal (PGA)
- Caroline Wozniacki (WTA)
- Vernon Davis (San Francisco 49ers)
- Eric Gordon (Los Angeles Clippers)
- Patrick Willis (San Francisco 49ers)
- Mike Wallace (Pittsburgh Steelers)
- Gaby Sanchez (Florida Marlins)
- Kevin Love (Minnesota Timberwolves)
- Sam Bradford (St. Louis Rams)
