The quarterbacks seem to get all the headlines and for good reason each year. Without a solid QB, you won’t be winning anything of significance, but they need someone to catch the ball and that is where we are heading for this list.
There are plenty of options for top pass catchers across the college football landscape. Last year the Ohio State Buckeyes had two top-tier receivers in Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, but now it is Rose Bowl standout Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s turn.
Among the top WRs in the country, we have players from each of the Power Five conferences. This list is dominated by the ACC, despite losing their best pass-catching threat to the USC Trojans.
I ranked the top 10 pass catchers heading into the season, a projection of where I expect them to finish following the 2022 season.
