Colorado should have its primary four wide receivers healthy against Arizona this weekend, but recent injuries to Omarion Miller and Terrell Timmons Jr. mean the Buffs’ pass-catching depth will be tested moving forward.
Fortunately for Colorado, it entered this season with arguably the most talented and deepest WR room in college football. Miller, for example, could be the top receiver at several other Power Four schools.
Earlier this week, senior wideout LaJohntay Wester was asked about the depth Colorado flaunts at his position group.
“It’s next-man-up mentality,” said Wester, the owner of 318 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. “I feel like in our receiver room, we got depth in there of guys who can come in and play and perform just as Travis (Hunter), as Jimmy (Horn Jr.) and all those other guys, too.”
Wide receivers who could see more playing time include freshmen Drelon Miller and Jordan Onovughe. On his “2Legendary” podcast, quarterback Shedeur Sanders mentioned Onovughe, in particular, as someone who could be next off the bench.
