Scouting Report

Smith is the total package and is a prototype X receiver (6'3", 223) with the rare combo of size + suddenness + ball skills + body control + route running. He's comfortable winning "late" — staying in phase, stacking corners, then adjusting to the ball seamlessly.

He became the fastest wide receiver in Ohio State history to reach 100 career catches, 1,500 yards, 2,000 yards, and 25 touchdown catches - all before his junior season.

2026 Outlook

Smith enters 2026 as the one of the top players in college football. The type of talent that combines efficiency, volume, and big play ability. With Julian Sayin returning at quarterback, Smith enters 2026 as a preseason Heisman favorite, and will look to help Ohio State win the Big Ten — something that he has still yet to do in his first two seasons.

Fantasy Value

The top WR and overall player heading into 2026. Smith is the focal point of Ohio State's passing game and combines high usage with big play ability. His ability to score in the redzone, create big plays, and stay consistent make him a round 1 target.

The Comeback Kid

Dante Moore's college journey has been anything but linear. The former 5-star recruit and #2 overall prospect in the 2023 class committed to UCLA. After struggling to find his footing in Chip Kelly's system, Moore entered the transfer portal and landed at Oregon — a move that transformed his career.

After backing up Dillon Gabriel for 1 season at Oregon, Moore began too put it all together in 2025. His 30 touchdown passes tied for 5th nationally, while his 3,565 passing yards ranked among the Big Ten's best. More importantly, he led Oregon to a Big Ten Championship and a College Football Playoff berth, silencing critics who questioned whether the Detroit native could handle the pressure of a premier program.

Scouting Report

At 6'2", 210 pounds, Moore has the ideal frame for a modern NFL quarterback. His arm talent is elite — he can make every throw on the field, from deep posts to back-shoulder fades. His release is lightning quick, and he's shown the ability to manipulate defenders with his eyes before delivering strikes.

Moore's biggest improvement in 2025 was his decision-making. After throwing too many risky passes at UCLA, he became more selective at Oregon, improving his TD:INT ratio to 3:1. The 71.8% completion rate proves he's not just a gunslinger — he can be surgical when needed.

Areas for Growth: While Moore's arm talent is undeniable, he still needs to develop his pocket awareness and pre-snap recognition. He can get locked onto his first read at times, and take unnecessary risks with the football. Elite defenses have shown they can disrupt him with disguised coverages. His tendency to drift in the pocket rather than climb can lead to unnecessary sacks. These are coachable traits, and with another year at Oregon expect improvement that has the potential to land him as next season's top overall NFL prospect.

The dual-threat element adds another dimension. While not a true running quarterback, Moore can extend plays with his legs and pick up crucial first downs on scrambles. His athleticism makes him dangerous on designed runs near the goal line.

2026 Outlook

In a shocking development, Moore announced he's returning to Oregon for his junior season despite being projected as a top-5 NFL Draft pick. "I have unfinished business," Moore said. "We got to the playoff, but we didn't finish. I want to bring a national championship to Eugene."

With Dakorien Moore (no relation) returning at receiver and a loaded offensive line, Oregon enters 2026 as a legitimate contender. Dante Moore will enter the season as the top overall QB in college football.

Fantasy Value

Elite QB1. His 30 passing TDs, efficient completion rate, and rushing upside make him a weekly starter. In a Oregon offense that pushes tempo, and plays aggressive on fourth down, Moore should see even more volume in 2026. The decision to return to school makes him a valuable fantasy quarterback.

The Saban Effect

Julian Sayin was the #3 overall prospect in the 2024 class and the top offensive recruit in the nation out of Carlsbad High School in California. He committed to Alabama specifically to play for Nick Saban, earning Elite 11 MVP honors along the way.

Then everything changed. On January 10, 2024, Saban announced his retirement. Nine days later, Sayin entered the transfer portal. Two days after that, he was a Buckeye. "I came because of Coach Saban," Sayin explained. "The new staff that came in, we didn't have a relationship prior."

Scouting Report

Sayin is a pure pocket passer with elite accuracy and poise. His 77% completion rate ranks among the best single seasons in college football history. At 6'1", 195 pounds, he won't beat you with his legs, but his decision-making and ball placement are exceptional.

Sayin processes defenses quickly and gets through his progressions with ease. His chemistry with Jeremiah Smith has been electric, connecting on multiple deep balls throughout the season. He averaged 9.2 yards per attempt - a testament to his ability to push the ball downfield.

2026 Outlook

With a national championship under his belt as a backup in 2024 and a Heisman-caliber first season as starter in 2025, Sayin enters 2026 as the most polished quarterback in college football. He'll look to improve his pocket awareness and decision making against top teams, as Ohio State struggled in 2025 when facing elite front 7s.

The return of Jeremiah Smith gives Ohio State the best QB-WR duo in the country. Sayin finished 4th in Heisman voting in 2025 and will be a frontrunner again.

Fantasy Value

A solid QB1 with a high floor in college fantasy. While he lacks rushing upside, his passing volume and efficiency make up for it. The connection with Jeremiah Smith guarantees fantasy relevance. Target in round 4.

Scouting Report

The nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning showed flashes of brilliance in his first year as a starter, though not without growing pains. At 6'4", 219 pounds, Arch has the prototypical NFL quarterback frame combined with athleticism his legendary uncles never possessed. His 10 rushing touchdowns prove he's a different breed of Manning — but accuracy issues early in the season kept expectations in check.

Manning's 2025 season was a tale of two halves. Through the first seven games, he averaged 207 yards passing with 12 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on 59.3% completion. Then he started to find better rhythm and developed an effective passing connection with teammate Ryan Wingo. In the final six games, Manning became a different player: 288.7 yards per game, 14 touchdowns, just 2 interceptions, and a 62.4% completion rate. Against Arkansas, he exploded for 389 yards and 4 touchdowns. In the Citrus Bowl win over Michigan, he accounted for 4 touchdowns including a 60-yard rushing touchdown that sealed a 41-27 victory.

2026 Outlook

Manning made the decision to return to Texas for another season. His father Cooper confirmed: "Arch is playing football at Texas next year." Manning will look to continue his momentum into 2026 and hope to lead Texas back into the playoffs.

Texas finished 10-3 in 2025, but with Manning's late-season growth, the Longhorns are legitimate national title contenders in 2026.

Fantasy Value

Elite dual-threat QB1. His 399 rushing yards and 10 rushing TDs give him a floor most quarterbacks can't match. With a full offseason as the starter and improved weapons returning, Manning's ceiling is as high as anyone in college football. First-round pick.

Accolades

• 25th nationally in passing yards (2025)
• 16th nationally in passing TDs (2025)
• Citrus Bowl Champion (2025)
• #1 overall recruit in 2023 class
• Led Texas to 10-3 record in first year as starter

Scouting Report

Isaac Brown ran for 7.1 yards per carry as a freshman in 2024, then somehow improved to 8.8 YPC in 2025 — the best mark in FBS. At 5'9", 190 pounds, Brown combines elite acceleration with patience, setting up blocks before exploding through holes.

What makes his numbers even more impressive is the conference he did it in. After watching Miami dominate the line of scrimmage in the College Football Playoff, the ACC has some of the most physical front 7s in college football. Among P4 schools: 5 of the top 11 teams in allowed Points Per Play, 6 of the top 13 in Defensive Success Rate, 4 of the top 10 in Havoc Rate, 4 of the top 10 in Stuff %, 5 of the top 12 in Defensive Rush PPA, and 4 of the top 12 in rushing yards allowed per carry. Brown dominated those defenses anyway.

In 2025, he had 15 carries for 113 yards in Louisville's upset of Miami — a potential national champion and one of the best defenses in the country. As a freshman in 2024, he put up 117 yards against playoff-bound SMU, 151 yards against #12 Clemson at Death Valley, and totaled 95 scrimmage yards (72 rush, 23 rec) with a receiving TD against Notre Dame — the 2024 national runner-up.

A lower leg injury cost him four games in 2025, but when healthy, Brown was simply unstoppable. He earned Third-Team All-ACC honors despite the missed time. After portal rumors, Brown decided to stay with the Cards — a smart decision as he's the clear RB1 in a run-heavy offense.

2026 Outlook

Brown's career efficiency numbers are off the charts heading into 2026. In just 266 career carries, he's racked up 2,057 yards (7.7 YPC) and 18 touchdowns. His home run ability is elite — Brown had 33 explosive runs as a freshman in 2024 and has ripped off 5 runs of 50+ yards in 2025 alone (78, 73, 68, 53, 52). With a career-long of 78 yards, he can take any carry to the house. Combine that burst with patient vision, and you have the most dangerous back in college football when healthy. A full season could push him toward 1,500+ rushing yards.

Fantasy Value

RB1 with elite efficiency. His 8.8 YPC proves he maximizes every touch. The only concern is receiving work (13 catches in 2025), but the rushing volume and efficiency make up for it. First-round pick in college fantasy.

Accolades

• Led FBS in yards per carry (8.8) in 2025
• Third-Team All-ACC (2025)
• Freshman All-American (2024)
• 2,057 career rushing yards, 18 TDs

Scouting Report

Ahmad Hardy's path to stardom took the scenic route. After rushing for 1,351 yards and 13 touchdowns as a freshman at UL-Monroe, Hardy entered the transfer portal seeking a bigger stage. Missouri came calling, and Hardy answered in historic fashion — his 1,560 rushing yards ranked 2nd nationally and 1st in the SEC.

Hardy is a "gravity" back: defenses change how they call games because one missed fit turns into 25 yards. The production profile tells you what kind of runner he is: 256 carries and still at 6.4 yards per pop is not normal. That's volume-proof efficiency. His repeated 100-yard outputs and the 300-yard detonation vs Miss State (300 yards, 3 TD — 3rd-highest in SEC history) only happen when a back has both stamina and home-run speed.

2026 Outlook

The biggest question with elite RB seasons now is always: portal? NFL? Missouri answered clearly — Hardy re-signed and is returning for 2026. Eli Drinkwitz confirmed Hardy among the guys "coming back" in his postgame comments. Hardy returns as the most decorated running back in college football, and with a full year in Missouri's system he'll look to repeat his historic production.

Fantasy Value

Hardy is the closest thing to a cheat code because his role is both safe (workhorse carries) and high-scoring (16 TD). In college fantasy drafts, he should go top-3 overall because he gives you a weekly floor built on volume and a weekly ceiling built on explosive runs and touchdown consistency.

The 6'6" Matchup Nightmare

Duce Robinson is the closest thing to a cheat code at wide receiver. At 6'6" with elite ball skills, Robinson simply cannot be covered one-on-one. His 1,081 receiving yards were FSU's first 1,000-yard season since 2019, moving him to ninth on the program's all-time single-season list. The Phoenix native led the ACC in total receiving yards (90.1 YPG) while ranking 8th nationally. In conference games specifically, his 102.8 yards per game was the highest among all Power 4 conferences.

Robinson isn't just a big receiver who wins with size - he's a big-play machine. His 19.3 yards per reception ranked 2nd in the ACC, and he led the conference in 20, 30, and 40-yard catches. His 12 receptions of 30+ yards were 3rd in the nation and the most among all Power 4 receivers. He had 5 games with 120+ receiving yards - the most in the ACC and second nationally. Against Virginia Tech, he had a 50-yard touchdown. His 160 receiving yards in the first quarter of one game were the most by any player nationally in a single quarter in 2025.

2026 Outlook

Robinson announced he's returning to FSU rather than entering the NFL Draft. This is massive for the Seminoles and fantasy managers alike. With another year of development and FSU looking to rebound, Robinson could challenge for the Biletnikoff Award.

Fantasy Value

WR1 with elite upside. His size (6'6"), yards per catch (19.3), and proven 1,000-yard production make him one of the safest receivers to draft. The only question is FSU's quarterback play, but Robinson is scheme-proof. First-round talent.

Accolades

• First Team All-ACC (2025) - most votes among all players
• Third Team All-American (Phil Steele)
• Biletnikoff Award Semifinalist

The Rebel Who Changed Everything

Trinidad Chambliss arrived at Ole Miss and immediately did what no quarterback in program history had done — lead the Rebels to their first College Football Playoff appearance. His 3,937 passing yards led the SEC, and his 22-to-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio was the most efficient in the conference. A dual-threat weapon with 527 rushing yards and 8 scores on the ground, Chambliss finished eighth in the Heisman Trophy voting and was named SEC Newcomer of the Year by the league's 16 head coaches.

His signature performance came in the regular season, where he led Ole Miss to an 11-1 record — the best in school history. The C Spire Conerly Trophy winner proved he could win from the pocket or on the move, posting a QBR of 86.5 that ranked fifth nationally.

2026 Outlook

Chambliss secured a deal to return to Ole Miss for a sixth season after a court granted his medical redshirt injunction. With a full year in Lane Kiffin's system under his belt and returning weapons around him, Chambliss is a legitimate Heisman frontrunner. His rare combination of accuracy (65.5% completion rate), decision-making (only 3 INTs), and rushing ability makes him arguably the most complete quarterback in college football.

Fantasy Value

Chambliss is a locked-in QB1. His 30 total touchdowns (22 pass + 8 rush) with only 3 interceptions made him one of the safest high-ceiling picks in fantasy last year, and he returns to an offense that will be even more explosive. The rushing floor gives him a week-to-week advantage over pocket passers. A top-3 QB selection.

Accolades

• SEC Newcomer of the Year (2025)
• C Spire Conerly Trophy Winner (2025)
• All-SEC Second Team (2025)

Speed Kills

Malachi Toney emerged as one of the most explosive receivers in college football in 2025. The speedster from Miami became Cam Ward's favorite target, leading the ACC in receiving yards while helping the Hurricanes reach the College Football Playoff. At 5'11", 185 pounds, Toney doesn't win with size - he wins with elite speed, route running, and yards after catch ability.

Toney's big-play ability is off the charts. His 16.2 yards per catch ranked among the best in the ACC, and he consistently found ways to turn short passes into long gains. Against Florida State, he torched the secondary for 156 yards and 2 touchdowns. In Miami's playoff run, he proved he can perform on the biggest stage.

2026 Outlook

With Cam Ward departing for the NFL, Toney's production will depend on Miami's new quarterback. However, his elite speed and route-running ability are scheme-proof. Expect Toney to be the focal point of Miami's passing attack as a junior.

Fantasy Value

WR1 with elite big-play upside. His speed and YAC ability give him a high ceiling every week. The quarterback situation creates some uncertainty, but Toney's talent is undeniable. Mid-first round pick.

Touchdown Machine

Kewan Lacy didn't just break Ole Miss's single-season rushing touchdown record - he shattered it. His 23 rushing touchdowns put him in elite SEC company: only Derrick Henry (28) and Najee Harris (26) have ever scored more rushing TDs in a single SEC season. The Missouri transfer immediately became the centerpiece of Lane Kiffin's offense, tying Tim Tebow and Tre Mason as just the fifth player in SEC history to reach that mark.

When the lights were brightest, Lacy delivered. In the Sugar Bowl against Georgia, he bounced back from a first-half fumble with two fourth-quarter touchdowns to help seal Ole Miss's 39-34 upset. In the Fiesta Bowl semifinal against Miami, he ripped off a 73-yard touchdown run - though he suffered an injury on the play. He returned in the second half, showing the toughness that defines his game. Through two playoff games: 37 carries, 185 yards, 3 touchdowns.

2026 Outlook

Lacy has announced he's returning to Ole Miss despite his coach Kevin Smith leaving for LSU. With Trinidad Chambliss not returning, the Rebels' will look to replicate one of the most successsful seasons in Ole Miss history under new coach Pete Golding. Can Lacy challenge Henry's SEC record of 28 rushing TDs?

Fantasy Value

RB1 with elite touchdown upside. His 23 rushing TDs prove he's the ultimate goal-line back. Add in 28 catches for receiving work, and Lacy is a complete fantasy asset. First-round pick with league-winning potential.

Accolades

Scouting Report

Ryan Wingo emerged as Arch Manning's most trusted weapon in 2025, forming a connection that Texas hopes will terrorize SEC defenses for another year. At 6'2", 214 pounds, Wingo has the size to win contested catches and the speed to take the top off defenses. and a live arm. He can rifle throws into tight windows or distribute with touch and precision, and he's proven to be an adept pre-snap operator who can make checks at the line and read defensive spacing. His deep ball accuracy is one of his biggest strengths - he can fire deep outs, hit tight windows over the middle, and launch vertical shots with ease. His 1.38 EPA per play in one-score fourth quarter situations speaks to his resolve in high-pressure moments.

The concerns? Maiava has a gunslinger mentality - he's fearless testing 50-50 balls but will force passes at times. He'll occasionally miss progressions, delaying reads and inviting pressure. His lower half mechanics lag behind his quick release, and while athletic, he doesn't have Caleb Williams-level scrambling ability. Against quality competition like Nebraska, he showed inconsistency (9-of-23, 135 yards, 1 INT). Still, his coachability, football IQ, and 30 career starts give him a high floor with above-average upside.

2026 Outlook

With a full year in Riley's system under his belt, Maiava enters 2026 as a highly regarded prospect. USC has weapons returning, and the Big Ten is wide open. If Maiava can cut down on turnovers (8 INTs), he has the ceiling to be the top quarterback in college football.

Fantasy Value

High-volume QB1 in Lincoln Riley's Air Raid. His 3,400+ passing yards and 29 total TDs prove the ceiling. The 91.2 QBR (best in nation) shows elite efficiency.  top-3 QB upside.

The ACC Champion

Darian Mensah transformed Duke football in 2025. The Tulane transfer immediately became one of the most prolific passers in college football, leading the Blue Devils to an ACC Championship - a feat few thought possible. His 3,973 passing yards set a new Duke single-season record, surpassing Anthony Dilweg's 1988 mark.

Mensah's signature moment came on November 1st against Clemson. Down late, he threw for 361 yards and 4 touchdowns, then completed a game-winning two-point conversion in the final minute to secure a stunning 46-45 victory. In the Sun Bowl against Arizona State, he threw for 327 yards and 4 TDs to earn MVP honors in the highest-scoring Sun Bowl ever (42-39).

Scouting Report

At 6'3", 205 pounds, Mensah has the frame and arm talent to make every throw. His five-game stretch where Duke went 4-1 while he completed 71% of his passes with a 13-0 TD:INT ratio showcased his ceiling. He can attack all levels of the field and shows elite poise in pressure situations.

2026 Outlook

After a legal battle with Duke over his NIL contract, Mensah reached a settlement and committed to Miami — becoming the third straight elite transfer QB for the Hurricanes following Cam Ward and Carson Beck. With Miami coming off a National Championship Game appearance and a loaded roster around him, Mensah steps into one of the best situations in college football. His 34-touchdown arm paired with Miami's speed at receiver is a terrifying combination for ACC defenses.

Fantasy Value

Mensah is an elite QB1. His 34 passing TDs and nearly 4,000 yards at Duke prove he can carry a fantasy team, and now he has significantly better weapons at Miami. The Hurricanes' explosive offense should unlock even higher numbers. A top-3 QB with league-winning ceiling.

Accolades

• ACC Champion (2025)
• Sun Bowl MVP (2025)
• Duke single-season passing record (3,973 yards)
• 2nd nationally in passing yards

Historic Season in The Swamp

Jadan Baugh didn't just have a good season — he rewrote the Florida record books. The Miami native became the first Gator to rush for 1,000 yards since Kelvin Taylor in 2015, ending a decade-long drought at one of college football's most storied programs. He's just the third underclassman in UF history to hit the four-digit mark, joining legends Emmitt Smith (1987) and Errict Rhett (1991).

Baugh saved his best for the rivalry game. Against Florida State, he exploded for 266 yards on 38 carries and 2 touchdowns — the most rushing yards by a Gator against FSU in history and the second-highest single-game total in program history. It was Florida's first 200-yard rushing performance since Ciatrick Fason in 2004.

Scouting Report

At 5'10", 205 pounds, Baugh combines elite contact balance with surprising breakaway speed. His 88.0 PFF grade ranked among the best in the SEC, fueled by 767 yards after contact and 66 forced missed tackles. He's not just a between-the-tackles grinder — Baugh has legitimate home run ability and the vision to find cutback lanes.

What separates Baugh is his receiving ability. His 31 catches for 185 yards and 2 touchdowns make him a true three-down back. Defenses can't simply load the box against Florida when Baugh can slip out of the backfield and create mismatches against linebackers.

2026 Outlook

Baugh announced he's staying at Florida, giving the Gators their best offensive weapon since the Tim Tebow era. With a new coaching staff and a presumed upgraded offensive line, Baugh has the infrastructure to challenge for All-American honors. A 1,400-yard season is within reach.

Fantasy Value

RB1 with elite volume. His 253 offensive touches, 1,290 total yards, and 10 touchdowns prove he's the engine of Florida's offense. The receiving work (31 catches) gives him PPR upside that most college backs lack. First-round pick with weekly RB1 upside.

Accolades

• First Gator to rush for 1,000 yards since 2015
• 266 yards vs FSU (UF record vs FSU)
• 3rd in SEC rushing yards (1,170)
• 88.0 PFF Grade | 66 forced missed tackles
• Third underclassman in UF history to hit 1,000 yards
• First 200-yard rusher at UF since 2004

The Compton Comet

Nate Frazier is one of the fastest running backs in college football — and he has the track times to prove it. The Compton, California native ran a personal best 10.58 in the 100 meters as a high school junior, elite speed that translates directly to his ability to hit the edge and outrun pursuit angles.

But Frazier isn't just a speed back. At 5'10", 210 pounds, he runs with power between the tackles and shows the contact balance to break arm tackles. His 5.5 yards per carry in the SEC — one of the most physical conferences in football — proves he can handle the grind of 20+ carry games.

Clutch Performer

Frazier has ice in his veins. As a true freshman in 2024, he scored the game-winning two-point conversion against Georgia Tech in an 8-overtime thriller, securing a 44-42 victory that defined his fearless mentality. In 2025, his 59-yard touchdown run against Mississippi State showed the home run ability that makes him a weekly threat to break one.

2026 Outlook

With Gunner Stockton returning at quarterback and Georgia's offensive line expected to improve, Frazier is primed for a breakout junior season. He'll enter 2026 with 1,618 career rushing yards and 14 touchdowns already in the bank. A 1,200-yard season would put him in the conversation for the Doak Walker Award.

RB1 in a run-heavy Georgia offense. His 947 rushing yards led all Georgia backs in 2025, and the explosive speed (59-yard long) gives him weekly boom potential. Georgia's commitment to the run game makes Frazier a safe floor play with RB1 upside. Second-round value.

Accolades

• SEC All-Freshman Team (2024)
• 1,618 career rushing yards, 14 TD through 2 seasons
• Game-winning 2pt conversion vs Georgia Tech (2024)
• 59-yard TD run vs Mississippi State (2025)
• 10.58 100m speed (high school)
• Led Georgia RBs in rushing (2025)

Baby Megatron Goes to Bloomington

Nick Marsh earned the nickname "Baby Megatron" at River Rouge High School in Detroit for his ability to go up and win contested catches like Calvin Johnson. After two seasons dominating at Michigan State, Marsh is taking his talents to Indiana following the Hoosiers' breakthrough 2025 season.

The numbers speak for themselves: 100 career receptions for 1,311 yards and 9 touchdowns in just two seasons. Marsh set Michigan State freshman records for receiving yards (649) and receptions (41) in 2024, then led the Spartans in all receiving categories as a sophomore before entering the transfer portal after Jonathan Smith was fired.

Scouting Report

At 6'2", 195 pounds, Marsh has ideal size for an outside receiver with the athleticism to separate at all three levels. His second career game as a freshman — 8 catches for 194 yards and a touchdown — showed the ceiling. He attacks contested catches, uses his frame to box out defenders, and shows natural body control adjusting to the ball in the air.

Marsh's route-running improved significantly in 2025, showing the ability to create separation on intermediate routes rather than relying solely on physical dominance. His 11.2 yards per reception proves he's more than a possession receiver — he can stretch the field.

2026 Outlook

Marsh committed to Indiana on January 4, 2026, joining a Hoosiers program coming off a historic season. With Curt Cignetti's air-raid offense and a proven quarterback, Marsh could see a massive spike in production. He has the talent to be a 1,000-yard receiver in 2026 and will enter the NFL Draft conversation as a junior.

Fantasy Value

WR1 upside in what seems too be the new football factory of college football. His 100 career catches prove the volume is there, and the move to a more explosive offense should unlock his ceiling. The transfer creates uncertainty, but the talent is undeniable. Mid-second round pick with first-round upside if he clicks in Bloomington.

Accolades

• 100 career receptions, 1,311 yards, 9 TD (2 seasons)
• Michigan State freshman receiving records (2024)
• Honorable Mention All-Big Ten (2025)
• Led MSU in receptions, yards, and TDs (2024 & 2025)

The Nation's Best Receiver Joins Prime Time

Danny Scudero didn't just lead the FBS in receiving yards in 2025 — he dominated. The 5'9", 174-pound dynamo racked up 1,291 yards at San Jose State, earning Biletnikoff Award semifinalist honors and AP All-American Second Team recognition. When Colorado lost star receiver LaJohntay Wester to the transfer portal, Deion Sanders responded by landing the best receiver available: the national receiving leader himself.

Scudero is a route-running technician with elite separation skills. His six games with 130+ receiving yards showed the consistency that makes him dangerous every week. In the season opener against Central Michigan, he hauled in 9 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown — a statement game that set the tone for his monster season. Even against Power 4 competition (7 catches, 60 yards vs Texas), Scudero showed he can produce against elite corners.

2026 Outlook

Scudero committed to Colorado on January 4, 2026, giving Deion Sanders the explosive playmaker he needed to replace Wester. With two years of eligibility remaining and Shedeur Sanders' younger brother in the QB room, Scudero enters a loaded receiver corps that includes Omarion Miller and Travis Hunter's replacement at wideout. The Prime Time spotlight will be brighter than San Jose State, but Scudero has the production profile to thrive.

Fantasy Value

WR1 ceiling in Colorado's high-octane offense. His 1,291 yards and 88 catches prove the volume floor, and Prime's offense historically features one elite receiver. The transition from Mountain West to Big 12 creates some uncertainty, but Scudero's route-running and production suggest he'll translate. Mid-second round pick with WR1 upside.

Accolades

• FBS leader in receiving yards (1,291) in 2025
• AP All-American Second Team (2025)
• Biletnikoff Award Semifinalist

Career Stats

9,629 Career Pass YDS | 71 Career TD | Most by any returning QB

16 career 300-yard games | 3 games with 400+ yards

College Football's Most Prolific Returning Passer

Josh Hoover enters 2026 with more career passing yards than any other quarterback in college football. The 9,629 yards and 71 touchdowns he accumulated at TCU make him one of the most proven passers in the sport — and now he's bringing that production to the reigning Big Ten champions at Indiana.

Hoover originally committed to Indiana during Tom Allen's tenure before flipping to TCU. After the Horned Frogs struggled in 2025, Hoover entered the transfer portal and returned to his original destination — this time to replace Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza. It's a full-circle moment for a quarterback who bet on himself and won. His 16 career 300-yard games prove he can carry an offense, and his three 400-yard performances show the ceiling when everything clicks.

2026 Outlook

Indiana went undefeated and won the Big Ten in 2025 behind Mendoza. Now Hoover inherits arguably the best situation in college football: a proven system under Curt Cignetti, a stacked roster, and the pressure of following a Heisman winner. Cignetti has now brought in Kurtis Rourke, Mendoza, and Hoover through the portal — he knows how to develop transfer QBs. Hoover has the experience and arm talent to keep Indiana elite.

Fantasy Value

High-floor QB1 in a proven system. His 9,629 career passing yards prove he can handle volume, and Indiana's offensive infrastructure is elite. The only question is whether he can replicate Mendoza's efficiency. If he does, he's a league-winner. Second-round pick with QB1 upside.

Accolades

• 9,629 career passing yards (most by returning QB)
• 71 career passing touchdowns
• 16 career 300-yard games
• 3 career 400-yard games
• Transferred to Indiana (January 2026)

2025 Season Stats (Freshman)

34 REC | 497 YDS | 3 TD | 14.6 YPR

Long: 65 YDS | 80.9 PFF Grade (Best Among Freshmen)

The #1 Receiver Lived Up to the Hype

Dakorien Moore entered Oregon as the consensus #1 wide receiver in the 2025 recruiting class — a five-star prospect rated first at his position by ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, and the 247Sports Composite. By season's end, he'd proven the rankings right. His 80.9 PFF grade was the highest among all freshmen in college football, and his 497 receiving yards showed he could produce immediately at the Power 4 level.

Moore announced his arrival on the third play of his college career. Against Oklahoma State, quarterback Dante Moore (no relation) launched a deep ball that the freshman hauled in for a 65-yard touchdown — skipping past two defenders like they weren't there. In Oregon's biggest game of the season at Penn State, the five-star showed zero nerves: 7 catches, 89 yards in a hostile environment as the Ducks escaped with a 30-24 double-overtime win. ESPN ranked him the 7th-best true freshman in college football.

2026 Outlook

With Dante Moore returning at quarterback and Oregon's system now familiar, Dakorien Moore is primed for a massive sophomore leap. His 14.6 yards per catch shows the big-play ability, and his 34 receptions prove he can handle volume. A 1,000-yard season is well within reach, and he's already being discussed as a potential top-10 NFL Draft pick in 2027.

Fantasy Value

WR1 upside with a rising floor. His freshman production (497 yards, 3 TD) was impressive, but the sophomore leap could be special. With Dante Moore's chemistry established and Oregon's offense clicking, Dakorien Moore should see increased targets. Late second-round pick with top-5 WR upside.

Accolades

• #1 WR in 2025 recruiting class (consensus 5-star)
• 80.9 PFF grade (best among all freshmen)
• ESPN's 7th-best true freshman in CFB
• 65-yard TD on third play of career
• 7 catches, 89 yards in win at Penn State
• Big Ten Champion (2025)

2025 Season Stats (Sophomore)

49 REC | 689 YDS | 4 TD | 14.1 YPR

Best Game: 165 YDS, 2 TD vs Wisconsin

The Prodigy's Second Act

Ryan Williams arrived at Alabama as the most hyped receiver recruit in years — a five-star prospect who drew comparisons to Julio Jones before he ever stepped foot in Tuscaloosa. His freshman year lived up to the billing: 48 catches for 864 yards and 8 touchdowns, including a 163-yard, 2-TD explosion against Georgia that announced his arrival on the national stage.

The sophomore season was more complicated. Williams dealt with early-season injuries that limited his availability and disrupted his chemistry with the quarterback room. When healthy, he remained electric — his 165-yard, 2-touchdown performance against Wisconsin included scoring plays of 75 and 41 yards, with 109 yards coming after the catch. But the numbers (689 yards, 4 TDs) told the story of a talented player working through adversity.

2026 Outlook

Williams enters 2026 with something to prove. He was a preseason First Team All-American by eight different outlets and earned watch list spots for the Maxwell, Walter Camp, Biletnikoff, and Hornung Awards — then didn't fully deliver. A healthy junior season could unlock the 1,000-yard potential everyone knows he possesses. His route-running and after-catch ability remain elite.

Fantasy Value

Williams' ceiling is WR1 given his talent and target share when healthy. The concern is injury history and Alabama's QB situation. He's a boom-or-bust pick who could return first-round value if everything clicks, but the floor dropped in 2025. High-upside play in the mid-rounds.

Accolades

• Preseason First Team All-American (8 outlets)
• Maxwell, Biletnikoff, Walter Camp Award Watch Lists
• 864 yards, 8 TD as a freshman (2024)
• 163 yards, 2 TD vs Georgia (2024)
• 165 yards, 2 TD vs Wisconsin (2025)

160 CAR | 939 YDS | 6 TD | 5.9 YPC

37 REC | 189 YDS | #1 Portal RB (ESPN)

The Biggest Get in the Portal

Daylan "Hollywood" Smothers lived up to his nickname in 2025 — putting on a show every time he touched the ball. The former Oklahoma signee found his footing at NC State, rushing for 939 yards and 6 touchdowns while earning First Team All-ACC honors. When Texas needed a feature back, they went out and got the #1 running back in the entire transfer portal.

Smothers' best stretch came during conference play, where he ran for over 100 yards in four of five games. Against Virginia, he gashed the defense for 140 yards and 2 touchdowns on just 17 carries. A week later, he carried 24 times for 164 yards against Wake Forest. Most impressively: zero fumbles in 2025. He takes care of the football.

The receiving ability (37 catches, 189 yards, 1 TD) makes him a true three-down back — something Texas desperately needs in Steve Sarkisian's offense.

2026 Outlook

Smothers joins Raleek Brown in Texas' backfield, giving the Longhorns one of the deepest running back rooms in college football. With Arch Manning returning at quarterback and a loaded offensive line, Smothers could challenge for 1,200+ yards and double-digit touchdowns. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

Fantasy Value

Smothers brings a proven floor (939 yards, 37 catches) to an elite offensive situation. The concern is splitting carries with Raleek Brown, but Smothers' pass-catching ability should keep him on the field in key situations. High-end RB2 with RB1 upside if he wins the starting job outright.

Accolades

• First Team All-ACC (2025)
• #1 RB in 2026 Transfer Portal (ESPN)
• 939 rushing yards, 6 TD at NC State
• Zero fumbles in 2025
• 140 yards, 2 TD vs Virginia
• 164 yards vs Wake Forest

DeSean Bishop

RB | Tennessee | Sophomore

2025 Season Stats

163 CAR | 1,000+ YDS | 14 TD | 6.0 YPC

Career: 237 CAR | 1,438 YDS | 17 TD

The Local Legend

DeSean Bishop grew up 15 minutes from Neyland Stadium in Knoxville — and he's spent his college career making his hometown proud. The former Karns High School star entered 2025 with the second-most rushing yards in Tennessee high school history (8,347), then immediately translated that production to the SEC.

Bishop became the third consecutive Tennessee running back to eclipse 1,000 yards in a single season, joining former teammates Dylan Sampson and Jaylen Wright. He reached the milestone on his fifth carry of the Music City Bowl, capping a season where he ranked third in the SEC in rushing yards and tied for 13th nationally with 14 rushing touchdowns.

At 6.0 yards per carry (third in the SEC among qualifiers), Bishop isn't just grinding out yards — he's creating explosive plays. His four 100-yard games as a sophomore prove he can carry the load in Josh Heupel's high-tempo offense.

2026 Outlook

With Sampson gone to the NFL, Bishop enters 2026 as Tennessee's clear RB1. Heupel's system has produced three consecutive 1,000-yard rushers, and Bishop has the talent and experience to continue the streak. A 1,400-yard season is within reach if he stays healthy.

Fantasy Value

Bishop is one of the safest backs in college fantasy. His 14 rushing touchdowns prove goal-line value, and Tennessee's up-tempo system creates volume. The only concern is receiving work (12 catches), but the rushing production alone makes him a weekly RB1. High floor, solid ceiling.

Accolades

• 1,000+ yard rusher (2025)
• 14 rushing touchdowns (T-13th nationally)
• Third consecutive Tennessee RB to hit 1,000 yards
• 6.0 YPC (3rd in SEC)
• 1,438 career rushing yards through 2 seasons
• 8,347 high school rushing yards (2nd in TN history)

KJ Duff

WR | Rutgers | Junior

2025 Season Stats

60 REC | 1,084 YDS | 7 TD | 18.1 YPR

20 Contested Catches (Led FBS) | 3rd Big Ten Rec YDS

The Riverhead Revelation

KJ Duff became the first Rutgers receiver to eclipse 1,000 yards since Leonte Carroo in 2014 — ending a decade-long drought at a program desperately searching for playmakers. The Riverhead, New York native finished with 1,084 receiving yards, ranking third in the Big Ten and establishing himself as one of the most reliable targets in college football.

What makes Duff special is his ability to win contested catches. He led the entire FBS with 20 contested receptions according to Pro Football Focus — meaning he doesn't need separation to make plays. His 241-yard explosion against Purdue (including a 72-yard touchdown) was the second-best single-game receiving performance in Rutgers history. Against Penn State, he posted 127 yards and a score against one of the best secondaries in the country.

2026 Outlook

Duff announced he's returning to Rutgers for his junior season, giving the Scarlet Knights their best offensive weapon since the Carroo era. With Greg Schiano building momentum and a proven 1,000-yard season on tape, Duff could challenge for First Team All-Big Ten honors. A repeat 1,000-yard campaign would cement his legacy as one of the best receivers in program history.

Fantasy Value

Duff is a target monster with proven production. His 60 catches and contested catch ability give him a high floor, while his big-play potential (72-yard TD) provides weekly upside. The concern is Rutgers' offensive limitations, but Duff is scheme-proof. Solid WR2 with WR1 weeks.

Accolades

• 1,084 receiving yards (first 1,000-yard season since 2014)
• Second Team All-Big Ten
• Honorable Mention All-America (Phil Steele)
• Led FBS in contested catches (20)
• 241 yards vs Purdue (2nd in program history)
• 3rd in Big Ten in receiving yards

295 CAR | 1,659 YDS | 16 TD | 5.6 YPC

1,945 Scrimmage YDS (Led FBS) | 10 of 13 games with 100+ YDS

The Nation's Leading Rusher

Cam Cook didn't just lead the FBS in rushing — he dominated it. His 1,659 yards were the most by any player in college football in 2025, and his 1,945 yards from scrimmage set a new Jacksonville State single-season record. The Conference USA Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year put together one of the most prolific seasons in Group of 5 history.

Cook's consistency was remarkable: 100+ rushing yards in 10 of 13 games, including a 218-yard explosion. He scored at least one touchdown in his final 10 games with the Gamecocks, showing the durability and reliability that coaches crave. The 30 catches for 286 yards add a receiving dimension that makes him a true three-down back.

2026 Outlook

Cook followed coach Rich Rodriguez to West Virginia for his final season of eligibility. The jump from Conference USA to the Big 12 will be significant, but Cook's production profile suggests he can handle Power 4 competition. With Rodriguez's run-heavy system and a clean starting role, Cook could challenge for 1,200+ yards.

Fantasy Value

Cook brings FBS-leading production to a Power 4 program. The 295 carries prove he can handle workhorse volume, and the 30 catches show pass-game utility. The only concern is the level-of-competition jump, but his All-American production translates. High-floor RB2 with RB1 upside.

Accolades

• Led FBS in rushing yards (1,659) and scrimmage yards (1,945)
• Conference USA Player of the Year
• Conference USA Newcomer of the Year
• All-American (2025)
• 10 games with 100+ rushing yards
• Scored in final 10 games of season

29 Total TD (FBS Freshman Record) | #2 Portal RB

The Record-Breaking Freshman

Caleb Hawkins didn't just have a great freshman season — he had the greatest freshman rushing season in FBS history by touchdowns. His 29 total touchdowns shattered the previous FBS freshman record, leading the entire country in scoring while rushing for 1,434 yards (fifth nationally). The Shawnee, Oklahoma native earned Walter Camp All-America Second Team honors as a true freshman, something virtually unheard of at the running back position.

Hawkins' receiving ability (32 catches, 370 yards, 4 TD) makes him a complete back. In his final game at North Texas, he earned New Mexico Bowl MVP honors with 198 rushing yards and three total touchdowns — a fitting end to a historic season.

2026 Outlook

Hawkins followed coach Eric Morris to Oklahoma State, reuniting with quarterback Drew Mestemaker. The Cowboys went 1-11 in 2025, but the addition of Hawkins and Morris' uptempo system could spark a rapid turnaround. Hawkins has three years of eligibility remaining and is just an hour from his hometown — expect him to embrace the homecoming.

Fantasy Value

Hawkins' 29 touchdowns prove elite goal-line value, and his receiving work (32 catches) adds PPR upside. The concern is Oklahoma State's offensive line and overall team quality, but Hawkins is the clear feature back in a system that fed him heavily at North Texas. High-ceiling RB2 with weekly RB1 potential.

Accolades

• 29 total TD (Led FBS, FBS Freshman Record)
• Walter Camp All-America Second Team
• True Freshman All-American (On3)
• New Mexico Bowl MVP (198 YDS, 3 TD)
• 1,434 rushing yards (5th nationally)

Jaron Sagapolutele

QB | Cal | Sophomore

2025 Season Stats

316/492 | 3,454 YDS | 18 TD | 9 INT | 178 passes without INT streak

The Next Jared Goff

Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele didn't just have a good freshman season — he had the second-best freshman quarterback season in Cal history, trailing only Jared Goff's 2013 campaign. The true freshman threw for 3,454 yards while leading the ACC in completions per game, becoming the only Power 4 quarterback to start his career with 13 consecutive 200-yard passing games.

Sagapolutele's growth throughout the season was remarkable. He finished without throwing an interception in his final 178 pass attempts — just seven shy of the school record set by Goff. His career-high performance came against #22 SMU in the regular-season finale: 31-of-40 for 330 yards and 4 touchdowns in a 38-35 upset victory. Four ACC Rookie of the Week awards prove he was the conference's best freshman.

2026 Outlook

Sagapolutele announced he's returning to Cal for his sophomore season, giving the Bears their most promising quarterback since Goff. With a full offseason as the starter and his late-season surge, Sagapolutele could challenge for First Team All-ACC honors. The comparison to Goff — now a Super Bowl starter — isn't hyperbole.

Fantasy Value

Sagapolutele's 3,454 passing yards prove he can handle volume, and his late-season efficiency (178 passes without an INT) shows elite growth. The concern is Cal's overall offensive firepower, but Sagapolutele's floor is safe. Solid QB2 with upside if Cal improves around him.

Accolades

• 3,454 passing yards (2nd-best Cal freshman ever)
• Led ACC in completions per game (24.31)
• 4x ACC Rookie of the Week
• 2x ACC Quarterback of the Week
• 13 straight 200+ yard games to start career
• 178 consecutive passes without INT to end season

61.6% | 2,800 YDS | 27 TD | 5 INT

580 Rush YDS | 9 Rush TD | 36 Total TD

The $5 Million Man

Brendan Sorsby was the #1 player in the entire 2026 transfer portal — and he's bringing his talents home to Texas. The Denton native accumulated 7,208 career passing yards and 82 total touchdowns across three seasons at Indiana and Cincinnati, establishing himself as one of the most proven quarterbacks in college football. His 2025 campaign at Cincinnati was his best yet: 36 total touchdowns while leading the Big 12 in yards per completion.

What separates Sorsby is his dual-threat ability. His 580 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns in 2025 add a dimension that pure pocket passers can't match. Before committing to Texas Tech, Sorsby personally called Patrick Mahomes — the Red Raiders' most famous alum — to inform him of his decision. The NIL valuation of $5 million proves the industry believes in his star power.

2026 Outlook

Sorsby has one season of eligibility remaining, and he's spending it in Lubbock trying to restore Texas Tech's Air Raid legacy. With Zach Kittley's offense and his proven production, Sorsby could push for 4,000 total yards. The Davey O'Brien Award semifinalist enters 2026 as a legitimate Heisman dark horse.

Fantasy Value

Sorsby is a true dual-threat QB1 with elite rushing upside. His 36 total touchdowns and 3,380 total yards prove he can carry a fantasy team. Texas Tech's Air Raid system should maximize his talent. High-end QB1 potential with a safe floor.

Accolades

• #1 Overall Player in 2026 Transfer Portal
• Second Team All-Big 12 (2025)
• Davey O'Brien Award Semifinalist
• 7,208 career passing yards, 60 TD

145 CAR | 749 YDS | 9 TD | 5.2 YPC | 30 REC | 213 YDS | 2 REC TD

Speed Kills in Bloomington

The name says it all — Turbo Richard is fast. The Charlotte native was an all-state track athlete who won the 100-meter upper state championship, and that elite speed translates directly to the football field. After leading Boston College with 749 rushing yards and 11 total touchdowns as a sophomore, Richard is bringing his game-breaking ability to the reigning Big Ten champions.

Richard's best game came against Cal, where he exploded for 171 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. His 30 catches for 213 yards and 2 touchdowns prove he's a complete back who can contribute in the passing game. At 5'8", 207 pounds, he runs with a low center of gravity that makes him difficult to bring down in the open field.

2026 Outlook

Richard joins an Indiana program coming off an undefeated regular season and Big Ten championship. With Curt Cignetti's system and two years of eligibility remaining, Richard could emerge as one of the top backs in the conference. His speed and receiving ability fit perfectly in Indiana's up-tempo attack.

Fantasy Value

Richard brings proven production to an elite situation. His 30 catches add PPR value, and Indiana's offensive system creates explosive play opportunities. The concern is whether he'll be the clear lead back, but his speed and receiving ability should earn significant playing time. Solid RB2/flex with upside.

Accolades

• 749 rushing yards, 11 total TD (2025)
• Led Boston College in rushing (2025)
• 171 yards, 2 TD vs Cal (career high)
• 100m state champion (track)

QB | BYU | Sophomore

2025 Season Stats

251/387 | 3,033 YDS | 15 TD | 7 INT | 527 RUSH YDS | 11 RUSH TD

History-Making Freshman

Bear Bachmeier became the first true freshman in BYU history to start a season opener — and he rewarded that trust with the best debut season by a Cougar quarterback in decades. His 3,033 passing yards and 25 total touchdowns led BYU to their first Big 12 Championship game appearance and a 12-2 record.

Bachmeier's dual-threat ability sets him apart. His 527 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns give defenses fits, as they can't simply focus on stopping the pass. In the Pop-Tarts Bowl against Georgia Tech, he threw for 325 yards and engineered an 11-point comeback to cap the season with a victory. His 351-yard performance against West Virginia showed his ceiling when clicking.

2026 Outlook

Bachmeier announced on January 7, 2026 that he's returning to BYU for his sophomore season. With a full year of starting experience and BYU returning key pieces, Bachmeier could push for Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. His 25 total touchdowns as a freshman suggest the ceiling is much higher.

Fantasy Value

Bachmeier is a true dual-threat with elite rushing production for a QB. His 11 rushing TDs provide a floor most quarterbacks can't match. The concern is BYU's overall offensive talent, but Bachmeier's legs make him viable regardless. High-upside QB2 with weekly QB1 potential.

Accolades

• First true freshman to start season opener in BYU history
• 3,033 passing yards, 25 total TD as freshman
• Led BYU to 12-2, Big 12 Championship Game
• Pop-Tarts Bowl champion (325 yards)

Heisman: 7th | SEC Championship MVP

The SEC Champion

Gunner Stockton's 2025 season was a masterclass in big-game performance. The junior quarterback finished 7th in Heisman voting while leading Georgia to an SEC Championship, capping the year with a dominant 28-7 victory over Alabama where he threw for 156 yards and 3 touchdowns en route to game MVP honors.

Stockton's signature moments came against ranked opponents. Against #16 Tennessee, he threw for 304 yards and combined for 3 touchdowns in a 44-41 overtime thriller. Against #5 Ole Miss, he completed 26 of 31 passes for 289 yards and 5 total touchdowns. Against #11 Texas, he accounted for 5 touchdowns in a commanding 35-10 victory. When the lights were brightest, Stockton delivered.

2026 Outlook

Stockton returns as the reigning SEC Champion and a Heisman contender entering 2026. His 84.8 QBR (6th nationally) proves his efficiency, and with Georgia's recruiting prowess reloading the roster, Stockton should be a preseason All-American. A national championship is the only thing missing from his resume.

Fantasy Value

Stockton is a proven winner with elite efficiency. His 24 passing TDs and only 5 INTs show excellent decision-making, and Georgia's system creates scoring opportunities. The concern is lack of rushing production, but his passing volume and TD rate make him a safe QB1. High floor, solid ceiling.

Accolades

• SEC Champion (2025)
• SEC Championship Game MVP
• 7th in Heisman Trophy voting
• 84.8 QBR (6th nationally)
• 5 total TD vs #5 Ole Miss
• 5 total TD vs #11 Texas

Omarion Miller

WR | Arizona State | Junior

2025 Season Stats

45 REC | 808 YDS | 8 TD | 18.0 YPR (Led Big 12)

Big Play Specialist

Omarion Miller led the Big 12 in yards per catch (18.0) for a reason — every time he touches the ball, there's a chance it goes for a big play. The 6'2", 210-pound receiver racked up 808 yards and 8 touchdowns at Colorado in 2025, earning Second Team All-Big 12 honors before entering the transfer portal and becoming the highest-rated prospect to ever commit to Arizona State.

Miller's career-high came as a freshman against USC, when he posted 196 receiving yards — breaking Colorado's single-game freshman record. His combination of size, speed, and ball skills makes him a nightmare for defensive backs, and his 18 yards per catch proves he's more than just a volume receiver.

2026 Outlook

Miller arrives in Tempe as the replacement for Jordyn Tyson, who also transferred from Colorado to ASU. With the Sun Devils coming off a Big 12 Championship appearance and needing receiving production, Miller should immediately become the top target. His one remaining year of eligibility creates urgency to produce.

Fantasy Value

Miller brings proven big-play ability to an offense that just reached the Big 12 Championship. His 18 YPR suggests TD upside every week, even if the volume isn't elite. The concern is adjustment to a new system, but his talent is undeniable. High-ceiling WR2 with WR1 weeks.

Accolades

• Second Team All-Big 12 (2025)
• 18.0 yards per catch (led Big 12)
• #10 overall in 247Sports Transfer Portal
• Highest-rated transfer to ever commit to ASU
• 196 yards vs USC (CU freshman record)
• 1,258 career receiving yards, 10 TD

Tre Richardson

WR | Louisville | Senior

2025 Season Stats (Vanderbilt)

46 REC | 806 YDS | 7 TD | 17.5 YPR

1,295 All-Purpose YDS | Elite Big-Play Threat

The Speedster from Topeka

Tre Richardson's path to Power 4 stardom is unconventional — JUCO at Hutchinson (Kan.) CC, Division II at Washburn, then Vanderbilt — but his production is undeniable. As Diego Pavia's favorite target in 2025, Richardson led the Commodores in receiving yards (806) and touchdowns (7) while averaging an explosive 17.5 yards per catch.

Richardson isn't just a receiver — he's a multi-dimensional weapon. His 17 kick returns for 427 yards (25.1 avg, 2nd in SEC) and 62 rushing yards on 11 carries show his versatility. Three games of 124+ receiving yards against Auburn, Kentucky, and Iowa proved he can dominate against SEC competition.

2026 Outlook

Richardson joins Louisville as part of a receiver overhaul, reuniting with a pass-happy offense under new QB Lincoln Keinholz. His speed and big-play ability fit perfectly in an ACC that values explosive playmakers. Expect 900+ receiving yards if he stays healthy.

Fantasy Value

Richardson brings proven SEC production to a pass-heavy offense. His 17.5 YPR shows TD upside, and his kick return value adds bonus points in formats that count returns. Solid WR2/flex with weekly boom potential.

Accolades

• 806 receiving yards, 7 TD (led Vanderbilt)
• 17.5 yards per reception
• 1,295 all-purpose yards
• 25.1 yards per kick return (2nd in SEC)
• 124+ yards vs Auburn, Kentucky, Iowa

2025 Season Stats (Liberty)

229 CAR | 1,339 YDS | 16 TD | 121.7 YPG

#5 Rushing Yards | #4 RB in Portal (On3)

The Liberty Breakout

Evan Dickens went from Georgia Tech afterthought to one of the nation's most prolific rushers in just one season at Liberty. His 1,339 rushing yards ranked 5th nationally, while his 121.7 yards per game average was 3rd among all FBS backs. The transformation was complete — 47 career yards at Georgia Tech became 1,339 yards in one Liberty season.

Dickens finished the 2025 season on fire: five consecutive 100-yard performances, including a combined 495 yards and 6 touchdowns in the final two games against Louisiana Tech and Kennesaw State. His 16 rushing touchdowns ranked 4th nationally, proving he can finish drives in the red zone.

2026 Outlook

Dickens joins Boston College as the #4 RB in the transfer portal. The Eagles lost Turbo Richard to Indiana, creating an immediate starting opportunity. If Dickens can translate his CUSA dominance to ACC competition, he could challenge for 1,200+ yards.

Fantasy Value

Dickens brings top-5 national rushing production to a Power 4 program. The level-of-competition jump is the concern, but his 16 TDs prove goal-line value. High-floor RB2 with upside if he translates.

Accolades

• 1,339 rushing yards (#5 nationally)
• 121.7 rushing YPG (#3 nationally)
• 16 rushing TD (#4 nationally)
• CUSA All-Conference Second Team
• Five straight 100-yard games to end season
• #4 RB in Transfer Portal (On3)

210 CAR | 1,240 YDS | 15 TD | 5.9 YPC

Career: 2,690 Rush YDS | 27 TD | 467 Rec YDS

Connecticut's Best Returns Home

Cam Edwards didn't just have a good season at UConn — he had one of the best in program history. His 1,240 rushing yards made him the first Husky to eclipse 1,000 yards since 2019, and his 15 touchdowns ranked 13th nationally. The Norwalk, Connecticut native earned Walter Camp Connecticut Offensive Player of the Year honors while climbing to 5th all-time in UConn career rushing.

Edwards' 5.9 yards per carry proves he's not just a volume back — he's a home-run threat. His 467 career receiving yards and 4 receiving touchdowns add a pass-catching dimension that makes him valuable on all three downs. After three productive seasons at UConn, he's taking his talents to the Big Ten for one final year.

2026 Outlook

Edwards joins a Michigan State program looking to rebuild after losing Nick Marsh to Indiana. His proven production and workhorse ability should earn him the starting job immediately. The Big Ten is a tougher conference, but Edwards' experience and versatility suggest he can produce at any level.

Fantasy Value

Edwards brings proven 1,000-yard production to a Power 4 program. His 15 TDs and 467 career receiving yards show a complete skill set. The concern is Michigan State's overall offensive quality, but Edwards should be the featured back. Solid RB2 floor with upside.

Accolades

• 1,240 rushing yards, 15 TD (2025)
• Connecticut Offensive Player of the Year (Walter Camp)
• First UConn 1,000-yard rusher since 2019
• 5th all-time in UConn career rushing (2,690 yards)
• 5.9 yards per carry
• 467 career receiving yards, 4 TD

Charlie Becker

Wide Receiver | Indiana Hoosiers | Sophomore

2025 Season Stats

34 REC | 679 YDS | 4 TD | 20.0 YPR (Big Ten Leader)

15 Games | 3 Games 100+ YDS | 6'4" 204 lbs

Charlie B from Nashville, Tennessee

Charlie Becker's legend was born on the biggest stages. The lanky 6'4" sophomore led the Big Ten with a staggering 20.0 yards per reception, and his timing for big plays was almost supernatural. He posted 118 yards on seven catches against Penn State and torched Ohio State for 126 yards in the Big Ten Championship Game — three 100-yard performances that all came in must-win moments.

Then came the National Championship. Against Miami, Becker hauled in a clutch 19-yard reception on 4th-and-5 and another 19-yarder on 3rd-and-7 to extend scoring drives as Indiana won its first national title, 27-21. FOX Sports' Gus Johnson coined the nickname "Charlie B from Nashville, Tennessee" and it went viral as Becker became the face of Indiana's historic run.

2026 Outlook

Becker returns as a sophomore with national championship experience and a knack for delivering in clutch moments. With Indiana's program riding unprecedented momentum and Becker's chemistry with the passing attack established, expect a massive leap in targets. His 20.0 YPR shows elite deep-ball ability, and a full season as a primary target could push him past 1,000 yards.

Fantasy Value

Becker's big-play ability and clutch gene make him a boom-or-bust WR2 with upside. His 20.0 YPR means every target has touchdown potential. The concern is volume — 34 catches is modest — but with a year of development and Indiana's rising program, he could easily double his production. A high-upside pick with a championship pedigree.

Accolades

• National Champion (2025)
• Big Ten leader in yards per reception (20.0)
• 126 yards vs Ohio State in Big Ten Championship
• Key 4th-and-5 conversion in National Championship Game
• Three 100-yard receiving games as a true freshman

2025 Season Stats

246/354 (69.5%) | 3,065 Pass YDS | 25 TD | 8 INT

611 Rush YDS | 6 Rush TD | 31 Total TD

History-Making Dual Threat

Demond Williams Jr. became just the 16th quarterback in FBS history — and the first Husky ever — to throw for 400 yards and rush for 100 in the same game. That performance against Rutgers (402 passing, 136 rushing, 4 total TD) earned him Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week and Maxwell Award Player of the Week honors while setting the UW single-game total offense record.

Williams' 3,065 passing yards ranked 7th in program history, while his 69.5% completion rate was 2nd-best ever. Add 611 rushing yards and 6 rushing TDs, and you have one of the most complete quarterback seasons in Washington history. His 25 passing touchdowns ranked 4th in the Big Ten.

2026 Outlook

Williams returns as Washington's clear starter with proven production and dual-threat ability. His combination of passing efficiency and rushing production makes him one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the Big Ten. Expect him to be a dark horse Heisman candidate.

Fantasy Value

Williams' 611 rushing yards and 6 rushing TDs provide a floor most QBs can't match. His 25 passing TDs and 69.5% completion rate show passing efficiency. True dual-threat QB1 with weekly upside.

Accolades

• 3,065 pass yards (7th in UW history)
• 69.5% completion (2nd in UW history)
• First UW QB to throw 400+ and rush 100+ same game
• Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week

Reed Harris

WR | Arizona State | Junior

2025 Season Stats (Boston College)

39 REC | 673 YDS | 5 TD | 6'5" 217 lbs

#4 WR in Transfer Portal (247Sports)

Montana's Tallest Target

Reed Harris brings rare size to the receiver position at 6'5", 217 pounds — the kind of frame that creates matchup nightmares for defensive backs. The Great Falls, Montana native set career highs across the board in 2025 with 39 catches for 673 yards and a team-leading 5 touchdowns at Boston College, including two games over 140 receiving yards.

Harris' career trajectory shows steady improvement: from redshirt in 2023 to 486 yards in 2024 to 673 yards in 2025. His size allows him to win contested catches, and his two years of remaining eligibility give Arizona State a long-term building block alongside fellow transfer Omarion Miller.

2026 Outlook

Harris joins an Arizona State program that reached the Big 12 Championship game and desperately needs receiver production. With Omarion Miller and Harris forming one of the tallest WR duos in college football, ASU's passing game has serious upside. Expect Harris to challenge for 800+ yards.

Fantasy Value

Harris' size and TD production make him a red zone threat, but he'll compete for targets with Omarion Miller. His 5 TDs suggest scoring upside, and the Big 12 Championship offense creates opportunity. Boom-or-bust WR3/flex.

Accolades

• 673 receiving yards, 5 TD (career highs)
• #4 WR in 247Sports Transfer Portal
• Two 140+ yard receiving games
• 1,161 career receiving yards, 9 TD
• Top player in Montana (2023 class)

Drew Mestemaker

QB | Oklahoma State | Senior

2025 Season Stats (North Texas)

68.9% | 4,379 YDS | 34 TD | 9 INT

#1 in FBS Passing Yards | Burlsworth Trophy

From Walk-On to FBS Passing Leader

Drew Mestemaker's story is one of college football's most remarkable. A former high school defensive back who joined North Texas as an unheralded walk-on, Mestemaker exploded onto the scene in 2025 to lead the entire FBS in passing yards (4,379). His 608-yard game against Charlotte set school and AAC records. The Burlsworth Trophy winner and First Team All-American proved that star players can come from anywhere.

Mestemaker's 39 total touchdowns and 4,468 total yards both set North Texas program records. He capped his season with a 250-yard, 3-TD performance in the New Mexico Bowl victory. Now he's bringing that production to Oklahoma State, reuniting with coach Eric Morris and coordinator Sean Brophy.

2026 Outlook

Mestemaker joins an Oklahoma State program that went 1-11 in 2025 but now has hope. With three years of eligibility remaining and FBS-leading production, he could transform the Cowboys' offense. Paired with transfer RB Caleb Hawkins, OSU's offensive potential is sky-high.

Fantasy Value

Mestemaker led the FBS in passing — that production translates to fantasy. The concern is Oklahoma State's overall roster quality, but his volume (4,379 yards) and efficiency (68.9%) are elite. High-upside QB1 if OSU's offense clicks.

Accolades

• Led FBS in passing yards (4,379)
• First Team All-American
• Burlsworth Trophy Winner
• The American Offensive Player of the Year
• 608 yards vs Charlotte (school & AAC record)
• #3 overall in 247Sports Transfer Portal

Career: 53 REC | 787 YDS | 6 TD | 6'3" 185 lbs

The Big-Play Specialist

Terrell Anderson averaged 16.1 yards per catch at NC State in 2025 — the kind of explosive efficiency that caught USC's attention. The 6'3" receiver led the Wolfpack in receiving yards (629) while hauling in 5 touchdowns, establishing himself as one of the most dangerous deep threats in the ACC.

Anderson was a consensus four-star recruit (#51 overall, #10 WR nationally) out of high school, and he's lived up to that billing. His 14+ yards per reception career average shows he makes plays when the ball is in his hands. Now he's heading to USC to replace NFL-bound receivers Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane.

2026 Outlook

Anderson joins Lincoln Riley's Air Raid offense with two years of eligibility remaining. His size and big-play ability fit perfectly in USC's vertical passing attack. With Jayden Maiava returning at QB, Anderson could challenge for 900+ receiving yards.

Fantasy Value

Anderson brings explosive playmaking to a pass-heavy offense. His 16.1 YPR suggests TD upside, and Lincoln Riley's system creates volume for receivers. The concern is adjusting to a new system, but his talent is proven. High-upside WR2/flex.

Accolades

• 629 receiving yards, 5 TD (led NC State)
• 16.1 yards per reception
• #4 WR in On3 Transfer Portal
• Former 4-star recruit (#51 overall)
• 787 career receiving yards, 6 TD

1,192 YDS | 12 TD | 216 CAR | 5.5 YPC (ACC Leader)

CFP: 507 YDS | 4 Games | 6.8 YPC | 57-YD Long TD

The Playoff Workhorse

Mark Fletcher Jr. led the ACC in rushing during the regular season, but it was his playoff performance that cemented his status as one of college football's elite backs. Across four CFP games, Fletcher averaged 6.8 yards per carry and piled up 507 rushing yards — carrying Miami all the way to the National Championship Game. His 172-yard demolition of Texas A&M in the first round set the tone, and he followed it up with 90 yards against Ohio State to earn the J. Curtis Sanford Offensive MVP award as the Hurricanes pulled the 24-14 upset.

In the semifinal against Ole Miss, Fletcher powered through for 133 yards on 22 carries in a 31-27 thriller. Even in the championship loss to Indiana, he was Miami's best player — rushing for 112 yards and two touchdowns including a career-long 57-yard score. His 1,699 total yards (regular season + playoffs) ranked among the best in the nation.

2026 Outlook

Fletcher returns as a proven bell-cow back with playoff pedigree. Analysts are projecting him for 1,500+ rushing yards in 2026, and Miami's offense should remain explosive. His 5.5 YPC proves he's not just a volume runner — he breaks big plays. With a full offseason to build on his postseason momentum, Fletcher is a legitimate Doak Walker Award candidate.

Fantasy Value

Fletcher is a locked-in RB1 with elite volume and big-play ability. His 12 regular season touchdowns provide a safe floor, while the 6.8 YPC in the playoffs shows he elevates against top competition. The workload is there, the offense is there, and the talent is undeniable. A top-5 RB selection with league-winning upside.

Accolades

• ACC rushing leader (1,192 yards, 2025)
• 507 rushing yards across 4 CFP games
• J. Curtis Sanford Offensive MVP (CFP Quarterfinal)
• Career-high 172 yards vs Texas A&M (CFP Round 1)
• 57-yard TD in National Championship Game
• Projected 1,500+ yards in 2026

The Comeback Catalyst

Kevin Jennings battled through injury all season but still led SMU to the ACC Championship game and College Football Playoff in the Mustangs' first year in the conference. His 3,641 passing yards and 30 total touchdowns set career highs while establishing SMU as a legitimate national program.

In the Holiday Bowl, Jennings threw for 278 yards — including an 80-yard completion on the second play from scrimmage — as SMU knocked off #22 Arizona 24-19. That performance capped a season that proved Jennings can deliver on the biggest stages.

2026 Outlook

Jennings announced he's returning to SMU for his final year of eligibility, giving the Mustangs their proven starter as they try to return to the CFP. With a full offseason to heal and build chemistry with new weapons, Jennings could push for 4,000 passing yards.

Fantasy Value

Jennings brings CFP-level experience and 3,600+ yard production. The TD:INT ratio (26:13) needs improvement, but the volume is proven. SMU's offensive system creates QB-friendly opportunities. Solid QB2 with weekly upside.

Accolades

• 3,641 passing yards, 30 total TD (career highs)
• Led SMU to ACC Championship Game
• College Football Playoff Qualifier
• Holiday Bowl Champion (beat #22 Arizona)
• 80-yard completion in Holiday Bowl
• Returning for final year (2026)

2025 Season Stats

124 CAR | 652 YDS | 7 TD | 5.3 YPC

23 REC | 142 YDS | Best: 201 YDS vs #17 Georgia Tech

The Next Abanikanda

Ja'Kyrian Turner wasn't ranked in the top 1,500 recruits. He wasn't a top-150 player from Florida. He joined a crowded Pitt backfield with eight other running backs and missed the season opener with an injury. None of that mattered — Turner emerged as Pitt's leading rusher, posting 652 yards and 7 touchdowns while earning comparisons to Israel Abanikanda.

Turner's breakout game came against #17 Georgia Tech, when he rushed for 201 yards and a 56-yard game-sealing touchdown — becoming Pitt's first 200-yard rusher since Abanikanda in 2022. The performance earned him ACC Rookie of the Week, ACC Running Back of the Week, and Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Week honors.

2026 Outlook

Turner enters 2026 as Pitt's clear RB1 with a full offseason as the starter. His 23 catches prove he can contribute in the passing game, and his 5.3 YPC shows explosive ability. A 1,000-yard season is within reach as a sophomore.

Fantasy Value

Turner's emergence as a true freshman suggests the ceiling is high. His 201-yard game proves he can carry the load, and 23 catches add PPR value. The concern is Pitt's overall offense, but Turner should be the workhorse. Upside RB2/flex with growth potential.

Accolades

• 652 rushing yards, 7 TD as true freshman
• First Pitt 200-yard rusher since Abanikanda (2022)
• ACC Rookie of the Week
• ACC Running Back of the Week
• Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Week
• 201 yards, 56-yard TD vs #17 Georgia Tech

7 Games (injury) | 89.5 YDS/G Team Leader

Hopkins 2.0 Returns

Before a scary back injury against SMU cut his breakout season short, Bryant Wesco Jr. was on pace to become Clemson's first 1,000-yard receiver since DeAndre Hopkins. In just seven games, he led the Tigers in every receiving category—becoming only the fourth player in Dabo Swinney's tenure to record six receiving touchdowns through six games, joining Hopkins, Sammy Watkins, and Deon Cain. His 17.3 yards per reception showcased the big-play ability that made him a five-star recruit.

2026 Outlook

The good news: Wesco avoided major spinal damage and has announced his return for 2026. With a full offseason recovery and Clemson's quarterback situation stabilizing, Wesco is positioned to be the ACC's most dangerous deep threat. His ability to win contested catches and separate at the top of routes makes him a WR1 waiting to explode.

Fantasy Value

The injury creates uncertainty, but Wesco's ceiling is immense. If healthy, he could easily finish as a top-5 CFB fantasy receiver. He's a high-upside pick with WR1 potential at a mid-round cost.

Accolades

• Led Clemson in receptions, yards, TDs (2025)
• Fourth Tiger under Swinney with 6+ TDs in 6 games
• Five-star recruit (2024)
• 78 punt return yards

2025 Season Stats

2,354 YDS | 16 TD | 8 INT | 6-3 Record

Career High: 423 YDS vs NC State (school record)

The Next Jameis Winston

No true freshman quarterback in 2025 threw for 400 yards in a game—except Mason Heintschel. His 423-yard outburst against NC State set a Pitt freshman record and announced the arrival of a potential superstar. He became just the second true freshman since Jameis Winston in 2013 to post three games with 300+ yards and 3+ touchdowns in his first six starts. Heintschel led Pitt to wins over ranked Florida State and Georgia Tech, proving he belongs on the biggest stages.

2026 Outlook

With a full offseason as QB1 and returning weapons around him, Heintschel is poised for a breakout sophomore campaign. His decision-making should improve (8 INTs is correctable), and his arm talent is undeniable. Pitt's offense will flow through him as the clear alpha.

Fantasy Value

Heintschel offers upside at a value price. He showed he can win games and put up big numbers. If he cuts the turnovers, he'll vault into the QB1 conversation. A nice late-round flier with league-winning potential.

Accolades

• Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Semifinalist
• ACC Quarterback of the Week (Week 7)
• Two-time ACC Rookie of the Week
• Pitt freshman passing record (423 yards)

2025 Season Stats

70 REC | 1,264 YDS | 10 TD | #3 FBS Receiving

Career High: 295 YDS vs Rice (AAC record)

The 295-Yard Man

Wyatt Young didn't just lead the AAC in receiving—he set the conference's single-game record with a jaw-dropping 295-yard performance against Rice that included touchdowns of 74 and 84 yards. His 1,264 yards ranked third nationally, and his 10 touchdowns proved he's not just a volume receiver but a bonafide playmaker. The second-most prolific season in North Texas history earned him First Team All-AAC honors and a ticket to the Big 12.

2026 Outlook

Young follows head coach Eric Morris and quarterback Drew Mestemaker to Stillwater, maintaining chemistry with the system that made him a star. Oklahoma State desperately needed explosive playmakers, and Young delivers that in spades. The step up in competition is the only question mark.

Fantasy Value

Young has proven production and follows his quarterback to a new home. That continuity is undervalued. He's a safe floor player with sneaky upside if OSU's offense clicks. Great value pick.

Accolades

• First Team All-AAC (2025)
• AAC single-game receiving record (295 yards)
• 3rd in FBS in receiving yards
• 2nd most receiving yards in UNT history
• Top-6 WR in transfer portal (On3)

2025 Season Stats

234/377 (62.1%) | 3,169 Pass Yards | 25 TD | 12 INT

104 Rush Att | 493 Rush Yards | 6 Rush TD

Why He Ranks Here

Marcel Reed led Texas A&M to an 11-1 regular season record and the program's first College Football Playoff appearance. The dual-threat quarterback has explosive playmaking ability with both his arm and legs, averaging 8.4 yards per attempt while adding nearly 500 rushing yards. While he struggled against elite defenses late in the season (Texas and Miami), Reed's ceiling is sky-high as he returns for his junior year in College Station with the Aggies' playoff experience behind him.

Fantasy Outlook

Reed's rushing production makes him a valuable fantasy asset with 6 ground touchdowns supplementing his passing numbers. His 31 total touchdowns in 2025 project well for dynasty formats, though the 12 interceptions create some volatility. Expect QB1 upside with a defined rushing floor.

Why He Ranks Here

Chris Henry Jr. carries one of the most storied legacies in football as the son of late Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry. At 6'5" with elite speed and a massive catch radius, he profiles as a true X-receiver capable of dominating from Day 1. During his sophomore season at Cincinnati Withrow, he posted 71 receptions for 1,127 yards and 10 touchdowns. He'll arrive in Columbus with a chance to immediately contribute alongside Jeremiah Smith, potentially forming the most dangerous WR duo in college football.

Fantasy Outlook

As an incoming freshman, Henry Jr. offers tremendous dynasty value with immediate upside in Ohio State's explosive offense. His size-speed combination and elite pedigree make him a must-stash in dynasty leagues. Expect red zone targets from the jump.

HS Junior Season: 58 Rec | 1,275 Yards | 14 TD

Why He Ranks Here

Tristen Keys flipped his commitment from LSU to Tennessee after a fierce recruiting battle, and the Hattiesburg, Mississippi native arrives in Knoxville as one of the most dynamic receivers in the 2026 class. His junior high school season showcased elite production with nearly 22 yards per catch and 14 scores. Keys has the route-running polish and ball skills to contribute immediately in Josh Heupel's uptempo offense, which has historically elevated young receivers.

Fantasy Outlook

Tennessee's air raid-style offense makes Keys an intriguing fantasy stash for dynasty managers. If he can earn early snaps in the Vols' high-volume passing attack, his ceiling is among the highest in this freshman class. Monitor his camp reports closely.

Dorian Thomas

TE | New Mexico | Sophomore

2025 Season Stats

56 Receptions | 560 Yards | 4 TD

10.0 Yards/Catch | 6'4" | 240 lbs

Why He Ranks Here

Dorian Thomas emerged as a breakout tight end in 2025 after transferring from Arizona to New Mexico. The 6'4" pass-catcher led the Lobos in targets and receptions, establishing himself as QB Jack Layne's primary weapon. His Week 1 performance set the tone as he paced the team in receiving yards, and he maintained consistency throughout the season with multiple games over 50 yards. Thomas has entered the transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining, making him a fascinating prospect for power programs.

Fantasy Outlook

Thomas's target share at New Mexico was elite for a tight end, and his portal destination will significantly impact his fantasy value. If he lands at a program that features the tight end in the passing game, he could emerge as a TE1 candidate. Dynasty managers should monitor his landing spot closely.

Terrance Carter Jr.

TE | Texas Tech | Junior

2025 Season Stats

46 Receptions | 552 Yards | 5 TD

12.0 Yards/Catch | 75% Catch Rate

Why He Ranks Here

Terrance Carter Jr. emerged as one of the most productive tight ends in college football after transferring from Louisiana to Texas Tech. His 10-catch, 98-yard performance against West Virginia showcased his ability to dominate as a receiving threat, while his three-touchdown game through the early season highlighted his red zone value. Carter combines reliable hands (75% catch rate) with solid size at 6'2", making him a versatile weapon in the Red Raiders' offense.

Fantasy Outlook

Carter's target share and efficiency make him a sleeper TE option in dynasty leagues. With two seasons of Big 12 production under his belt, he projects as a steady contributor with TD upside. His catch rate suggests trustworthy hands when targeted.
