LaJohntay Wester News, Rumors, Updates - Colorado Buffaloes

Finds end zone in victory Wester reeled in 3 of 5 targets for 34 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-21 victory over UCF.

Impact Although Wester trailed behind his teammates with only three receptions, he managed to collect his fifth touchdown of the season in the blowout win. Travis Hunter has the most reliable floor in the wide receiver room, but Wester's nose for the end zone makes him a viable candidate for the second-best option on the squad.

Although Travis Hunters still headlines the wideout room, Wester is swiftly becoming the most likely second option for Sanders, whose prolific production boosts the fortunes of every pass-catcher in the offense.

Quiet end to elite season Wester caught four passes for 40 yards during Saturday's 24-21 defeat versus Rice.

Impact Wester had a quiet season finale Saturday to end his highly productive season. By making just four catches, he lost his grasp as the country's reception leader, finishing the regular season second with 108 grabs, just two behind Virginia's Malik Washington. He also finished 11th in the country with 1,168 receiving yards and added eight receiving touchdowns for the second straight season. If he returns to college next season, he will be a top fantasy option as a senior.

Rare slow day in loss Wester tallied six receptions (on 10 targets) for 38 yards and rushed once for 12 yards during Saturday's 22-7 loss to East Carolina.

Impact One week after a 200-yard, four-touchdown performance, Wester came back down to earth with 50 yards on seven touches. He still caught six passes though, bringing him up to a nation-leading 93 on the season. However, after a slow day in terms of yardage, he moved down to eighth in the country in receiving yards with 1,042.

Goes off Saturday Wester totaled 11 receptions (on 17 targets) for 219 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 45-42 defeat versus UAB. He also rushed one time for three yards and a touchdown.

Impact Wester, who has been elite all season for the Owls, went nuclear in Saturday's close loss. He accounted for 219 of Daniel Richardson's 293 passing yards and scored four touchdowns, including three in the second half (one rushing) to change a 35-14 deficit into a game tied at 35 a piece. He was targeted over 15 times for the fourth time this season and now leads the country in receptions, is fourth in yards and sits tied for 14th in receiving touchdowns.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Elite versus Charlotte Wester caught 10 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns during Friday's 38-16 win against Charlotte.

Impact After a rough outing last Saturday, Wester bounced back with his best game of the season Friday. He caught 10 passes for the fifth time this season, set a season-high with 149 receiving yards and scored multiple touchdowns for the first time this season. He was already leading all FBS players in receptions heading into the game, and his 10 catches Friday may allow him to hold that title for at least another week. He faces another favorable matchup next Saturday at UAB, a defense which has allowed at least 35 points in seven consecutive games.

Shut down Saturday Wester caught four passes for 14 yards during Saturday's 36-10 loss versus Texas-San Antonio.

Impact After a red-hot start to the season, Wester finally had a slow outing. He caught a season-low four passes for a season-low 14 yards in the blowout loss. He should be able to bounce back Friday at Charlotte.

Reels in TD Wester caught seven passes for 124 yards and a score Saturday versus Georgia Southern.

Impact Wester saw the field plenty as a true freshman in 2020 but barely made an impact with all of 17 catches for 114 yards in nine games. Obviously, he shot past that yardage total in this game alone, and it looks like he might be the top target in the FAU passing attack.
