We previously hit on the Quarterbacks and the Running Backs stock report. Last, but not least, we cover the receivers. Who is getting the spring buzz? Who was impacted by injuries? Let’s dive in!
STOCK UP
Reed Harris, Arizona State
This transfer from Boston College and his spring felt like it was sponsored by DJ Khaled because every practice report said “Another one!” when referencing a TD catch or big play by Harris. Fellow transfers Omarion Miller and Raiden Vines-Bright both had their moments as well, but Harris, in particular, was sensational. He put the finishing touches on his stellar spring with a TD catch in the spring showcase. ASU has a top-five receiving corps in the country.
Micah Hudson, Texas Tech
Alright…I know what you are thinking…
But I can’t help but wonder- can he be a post-post-hype sleeper? The Tech insiders were clear that the former 5-star shone all spring and capped that with a multi-touchdown spring game performance. Additionally, Joey McGuire sang his praises multiple times, saying how much he has improved and matured after his walk-on 2025 season. The Red Raiders’ WR room is deep, and the QB play is questionable, but maybe, just maybe, year three is finally going to provide us the Hudson that was being drafted in C2C and Dynasty CFF with the likes of Jeremiah Smith, Cam Coleman, and Ryan Williams.
Evan Stewart, Oregon
Another post-hype sleeper? Sure. Why not? Stewart was said to be back to 100% health after a patellar tendon injury, and it showed in his 4-catch, 110-yard spring game performance, which included a 76-yard TD. Now, a Ducks starting WR doesn’t carry the weight it once did in CFF, but gone are 1279 yards and 14 TDs from Oregon’s top pass catchers. That void will be filled by Stewart, Moore, and Johnson.
Brian Rowe Jr, UCLA
Rowe had a solid true-freshman season at USCe, but decided to join Bob Chesney on a cross-country expedition to SoCal. Rowe quickly became the favorite target of Nico Iamaleava throughout the spring practices and shone in the spring showcase. This is two straight springs at two different programs where Rowe has stood out. Take notice.
STOCK DOWN
Tre Richardson, Louisville
The Vandy transfer missed all of spring with an injury that Jeff Brohm described as “more involved than we anticipated”. While he is still expected to be back in the fall, he missed valuable reps with Lincoln Kienholz, who didn’t exactly look great passing the ball. Additionally, indications are that Richardson will man the slot role, which has only once been the leading WR spot under Brohm. And that one player was the late, great Rondale Moore. RIP.
Tanook Hines, USC
Hines is the leading returning receiver for the Trojans, but things are starting to look a little shaky for the second-year WR to make that claim again next year. He missed all of spring, and multiple freshmen (Kayden Dixon-Wyatt and Trent Mosley) and transfer Terrell Anderson showed out in his absence. With Boobie Feaster joining the mix this summer, it is very possible that Hines could be just one of many catching balls in a balanced pass attack come fall.
Ryan Wingo/Emmett Mosley V, Texas
Notice a trend yet? Wingo and Mosley are also WRs who sat out the spring with injury. This has been a recurring theme for Mosley, unfortunately. This isn’t insinuating that their starting job is in jeopardy, but spring practices confirmed Cam Coleman is the clear alpha in the room. Additionally, true freshman Jermaine Bishop Jr became the talk of Austin while Wingo and Mosley sat. Look for him to elbow his way into the rotation.
Keshaun Singleton, Auburn
Unlike the others on this list, Singleton was present for the spring. It just wasn’t the outcome one might expect. He didn’t start the spring game due to being in the doghouse with Alex Golesh for a lack of effort in practice. Furthermore, it has actually been fellow USF transfer Jeremiah Koger who has impressed insiders, according to practice reports. Many feel that he has the most upside in that room. Lastly, the spring game (and whispers from practice) did not instill much confidence that Byrum Brown and this Auburn pass game can translate up from the AAC to the SEC.
