Quinn has a team-leading 106 receptions, placing him second on SMU's single-season receptions list. His 1,191 receiving yards are fourth in a season for a Mustang.
Sutton, who was recently named first-team All-American Athletic Conference, has a team high and is tied for sixth nationally with 12 receiving touchdowns in 2017.
