Tennessee wide receiver Jalin Hyatt was named the Biletnikoff Award winner in December for his fantastic 2022 college football season.
Hyatt is now off to the 2023 NFL draft, along with several more of the nation’s top pass catchers last season. Along with Hyatt, TCU’s Quentin Johnston, USC’s Jordan Addison, Boston College’s Zay Flowers and Ohio State’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba are widely expected to be taken off of the board in the first round.
The stacked NFL draft class of wide receivers this year has opened the door for younger players within the college ranks to skyrocket onto the scene this upcoming season.
On Thursday, PFF released their top 10 returning wide receivers in college football. Texas’ Xavier Worthy made the list and was the only Big 12 player mentioned.
Ohio State is home to PFF’s top two returning wide receivers for 2023, while Washington also has two pass catchers on the list. Here’s a look at PFF’s top returners for this upcoming season.
