1. Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona

Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan is arguably the top wide receiver in the country.

With 90 receptions for 1,402 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, McMillan will always be the No. 1 option in the Wildcat offense.

At 6-foot-5 with elite route running and hands, the UA junior is on another level.

---

2. Ricky White III, UNLV

Somehow flying under the radar, UNLV’s Ricky White III is among the top wide receivers in college football.

He pulled down 88 catches for 1,483 yards last season with eight touchdowns.

The former transfer from Michigan State enters his third year as the starter in Las Vegas.

---

3. Tez Johnson, Oregon

Coming off a season that saw him break Oregon’s single-season record for receptions, Tez Johnson is expected to dominate.

His 86 catches last year broke the Duck’s record and his 1,182 yards receiving was 11th nationally.

Now on the Big Ten’s stage, Johnson should have an even more productive year as the No. 1 option in Eugene.

---

4. Tory Horton, Colorado State

There aren’t many receivers in the country on the level of Colorado State’s Tory Horton.

Spurning NIL offers from Power 5 programs, Horton decided to stay in Fort Collins for his final year.

He returns after pulling down 96 receptions for 1,136 yards and eight touchdowns last season.

---

5. Jalen Royals, Utah State

Jalen Royals scores touchdowns. The Utah State wide receiver was second nationally in receiving TDs with 15 last season.

That broke the school record which was previously set in 1990.

He did it with flash, too, scoring seven touchdowns on catches for 50 yards or more.

---

6. Travis Hunter, Colorado

Missing part of last season due to injury and arguably held back by playing both sides of the ball, Travis Hunter is an elite athlete.

He had 57 catches for 721 yards and five touchdowns despite missing three games.

Still, the Buffs might be better served by playing him on offense only.

---

7. Elic Ayomanor, Stanford

Arguably overlooked on the national stage, Stanford’s Elic Ayomanor is legitimate.

As a redshirt sophomore last year, he had 62 catches for 1,013 yards and six touchdowns.

His 294 yards receiving against Colorado set the program record for most receiving yards in a game.

---

8. Jeremiah Hunter, Washington

With 23 career starts to his name, Jeremiah Hunter transferred to Washington from California.

He was the Bears’ top receiver in 2023 with 62 receptions for 703 yards and seven touchdowns.

Coming into an advanced offense run by Jedd Fisch, the UW senior should thrive.

---

9. LaJohntay Wester, Colorado

Transferring to Boulder from Florida Atlantic, LaJohntay Wester is comparable to former Arizona star Jacob Cowing.

Quick but undersized, he ended last year seventh nationally in receiving yards.

How he is used in the Colorado offense will be key, but don’t be surprised if he makes plays for the Buffs.

---

10. Steven McBride, Hawai’i

Explosive and consistent, Steven McBride is one of the top receivers in the West.

He had 63 catches for 1,024 yards and nine touchdowns last year.

Entering his second year at Hawaii, McBride is expected once again to headline a strong receiving corps in Honolulu.

---

11. Kyle Williams, Washington State

Kyle Williams could have left Washington State.

Ending last season 59th nationally in receiving yards, there were undoubtedly plenty of suitors willing to pay to get him to their program.

But Williams stood on principal and enters the season with high expectations.

---

12. Pofele Ashlock, Hawai’i

Hawaii’s Pofele Ashlock was arguably the top freshman wide receiver in the country last season.

Ashlock was the No. 1 freshman in receptions and receiving yards, snagging 83 catches for 832 yards with nine touchdowns.

That’s the type of production that gets noticed and sets him up for a monster sophomore campaign.

---

Honorable Mention

Evan Stewart, Oregon

Transferring in from Texas A&M, Evan Stewart is set to benefit from playing with Dillon Gabriel.

With 38 catches for 514 yards and four touchdowns last year, the junior should have a more productive year with a Heisman-caliber quarterback throwing him the ball.

Still, the expectations for Stewart are high and the onus is on him to deliver.
