Former Paramus Catholic standout Jabrill Peppers has been garnering praise all season long for his stellar play at Michigan.

But the jack-of-all-trades earned some added respect after his game against Michigan State this past weekend, when he capped a 32-23 victory by scooping up a fumble and scoring on the Spartans' last-second two-point conversion attempt.

Jabrill Peppers is the first player in 10 seasons to have a rush attempt, reception, sack, kick return and a punt return in a single game. 👀 pic.twitter.com/MBeIMLDfcR — ESPN College Football (@ESPNCFB) October 30, 2016

In addition to bolstering his Heisman Trophy buzz, Peppers' performance helped land him a semifinalist spot for three different awards.

According to ESPN's Brian Bennett, the sophomore utility man is in the running for the Maxwell Award – given to college football's best player – as well as the Chuck Bednarik Award (best defensive player) and the Jim Thorpe Award (best defensive back).

Oddly enough, though, Peppers did not make the cut for the Butkus Award, which is given to the country's best linebacker, despite that being his listed position.

That said, position has proven to be a fluid concept for Peppers, who spends time on both sides of the ball and manned 10 different positions on Saturday – including quarterback, running back and wide receiver. He even found the end zone on one of those snaps at QB.

In total, Peppers has made 44 tackles, including 10 for a loss, and three sacks this season. Offensively, he's chipped in with 15 carries for 131 yards and three TDs, plus two catches for 3 yards. He's also scored on a punt return and averaged 17.1 yards per return, plus 28 yards per kickoff return.

New Jersey has been very kind to @umichfootball.



There's no better example than @JabrillPeppers. https://t.co/h0uFI1hQxO — Michigan On BTN (@MichiganOnBTN) October 30, 2016
