Ferguson graduated as the school's career leader in receptions (202) and receiving yards (2,569), becoming just the seventh Ivy League player to register more than 200 catches. His 14 career touchdowns also ranked fourth all-time at Cornell upon graduation. Ferguson caught 70 passes for 852 yards as a senior, a mark that ranked fourth all-time in a season at the time. He had seven career 100-yard receiving games, including a 177-yard effort at Brown in 2002, a mark that ranked second in a single game in Cornell history. He set a Big Red and Ivy League record with at least one catch in all 39 career games. Ferguson was a second-team All-Ivy League pick as a senior in 2002. He captured the team's Pop Warner Award as the squad's most valuable player in 2002, took home the Charles Colucci Award as the non-senior who contributed most to the team in 2001, and won the Jack Murphy Big Play Award as a sophomore in 2000. Ferguson was named Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week once during his senior campaign.
