Today, it’s the wide receivers and tight ends!

Performance in 2025 Although it was a step up in the passing game all around in year 2 of the Fisch era, the numbers don’t necessarily bear that out. Denzel Boston paced the room, with 881 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns on 62 catches compared to 834 yards last season. That’s a barometer of how the passing game was: similar to last year in numbers, if not in target distribution.

If you dig deeper, you find interesting nuggets of info, such as Dezmen Roebuck’s 42 catches for 560 yards and 7 touchdowns. Omari Evans was next among the receivers, with 17 catches for 254 yards and a 59 yard touchdown in the Apple Cup. Raiden Vines Bright had 24 catches for 238 yards and a touchdown.

Chris Lawson had 10 catches for 115 yards, and Audric Harris had 5 catches for 99 yards and a touchdown against Purdue. Rashid Williams had 5 catches for 54 yards in 2 games, breaking his collarbone against UC Davis, and missing all of 2025. For the tight ends, Decker Degraaf led the way, with 32 receptions for 360 yards and 3 touchdowns.
