Jaylen reckons his brother could be a game-changer for his new team. LaJohntay plays in the wide receiver position and could be a great addition to the side. The Buffs thus far have just one good wideout in the form of Travis Hunter and could do well with another talented prospect. Wester would be hoping to continue his rich vein of form as he gets under the guidance of Deion Sanders. Exciting times lie ahead for the young player.

LaJohntay was amongst the pick of players for the Owls last year as he made 108 receptions last year. It was the second among the FBS receivers.
