The Mobile, Ala. native finished the season with 629 all-purpose yards, totaling 25 receptions for 260 receiving yards and one touchdown, 21 rushes for 240 yards, six kickoff returns for 133 yards, one punt return and a 20-yard touchdown pass as he completed one pass on a trick play. Overall for the season, Toney recorded 12 explosive plays between rushing, receiving, passing and returns and notched his season-long rushing attempt of 34 yards in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl against Michigan.
