He also had two fumble recoveries and two caused fumbles … on offense, Pait racked up yardage in rushing, receiving and passing in 2019. He had 76 rushing yards and 377 receiving yards on the year. He was also 4-for-4 in passes thrown for a total of 130 yards and two touchdowns. He also scored seven touchdowns of his own, two rushing and five receiving … also a punt and kick returner for Culver High School. He totaled six kickoff returns for 256 yards in his two-year varsity career.
