Uses his size and leaping ability to be a favorite target on fade patterns in the endzone ... Took that leaping ability to be an All-Southern Conference honoree for the Catamount track and field team in 2005 ... During the SoCon Indoors, placed third in the triple jump (45'8.5") and seventh in the long jump (21'1.5") ... At the SoCon Outdoors, was sixth in the triple jump (46'8.25").

2004 (So.): Was Western's "Big-Play" receiver, averaging a team-best 17.3 yards per reception ... Was named a game-captain for the Chattanooga game and responded by turning in a team season-best 154-yard game on just six catches with a touchdown ... Ranked ninth in the SoCon with his average of 36.1 receiving yards per game ... Tied for the team lead with four TD catches ... Although he was fourth on the team in receptions (23), he was second on the team in receiving yards (397) ... Late in the year, made an appearance on the special teams, blocking a punt, which led directly to a touchdown, at Wofford ... Only had seven receptions for 117 yards prior to the Chattanooga game ... Versus the Mocs, caught a 37-yard "Hail Mary" touchdown pass from Justin Clark as time expired in the first half to give WCU a 10-6 lead at the break ... Set the tone for WCU's win at Elon by scoring a 63-yard touchdown, which was the longest pass receptions on the year for the Cats, on WCU's first possession ... Hauled in a team-high six receptions (for 33 yards) in a win over Appalachian State ... Much like the Elon game, it was Guinyard who put the Cats on the scoreboard first, catching a three-yard pass from Bennett Swygert.

2003 (Fr.): Attended Western but did not participate in football team activities.

Prior to Western: Named South Carolina 2-A All-State as a defensive back ... Selected to play in the North Carolina/South Carolina Shrine Bowl ... All-Region and Times and Democrat All-Area pick ...
