Colorado Buffs’ wide receiver, Lajohntay Wester, expressed his disappointment after being snubbed from the top 10 wide receiver list in the country. Taking to his Instagram Story, Wester shared the list and captioned it with a cryptic message for being overlooked: “We gone see. Ong.” The post immediately caught the attention of fans and analysts, sparking speculation about Wester’s feelings regarding the snub.

However, some observers, like the Prime to Colorado, believe that Wester’s reaction stems from a desire to prove himself and elevate his game. They argue that his previous stats would likely have earned him a spot on the coveted list if Wester were still at FAU. With an impressive record of 108 catches for over 1100 yards and eight touchdowns last season, Wester’s skills are undeniable. Although the list may not be good news for Wester, Hunter’s achievement cannot be overlooked.

Hunter’s impressive performance as a wide receiver

Hunter had an impressive performance on his first year as a Buffalo, amassing 57 receptions for 721 yards, with an average of 12.6 yards per catch, and securing 5 touchdowns. He also earned 21 points with one first-place vote, which is a surprising achievement given his primary focus elsewhere.

Hunter was already a prominent cover corner in college football, but his offensive impact was equally noteworthy, showcasing his versatility by excelling on both sides of the ball. In nine games, he achieved what no Colorado receiver had since Laviska Shenault in 2018, demonstrating remarkable skill while also contributing on defense, despite missing three games.

As the upcoming 2024 season approaches, questions arise about how Hunter’s role will evolve and whether he can sustain the demands of dual position play for a consecutive year. Nevertheless, his extraordinary talent remains undeniable, making him a formidable threat across all facets of the game, with his skill set as a receiver standing out prominently.
