There are many eligible receivers listed in this data. All of the wide receivers and tight ends. But, I also included the running backs. Many passes go to backs coming out of the backfield. I don’t want to miss their production.
If you missed the area quarterbacks through three weeks, you can read it here. And if you missed the running backs through three weeks, you can read it here.

Let’s take a look at some of those receivers who have covered over five miles on the NCAA gridirons.
Darius Cooper (Hazelwood West/Tarleton State Univ.) leads those who compete in Division I. The junior has only played one game, but he came out with 96 receiving yards.
Leading the University of North Texas in receiving is Ja’Mori Maclin (Kirkwood/Univ. of North Texas). If that name sounds familiar, he is a cousin of Jeremy Maclin, the former Missouri Tiger. Ja’Mori is averaging over 21 yards per reception and 79 yards per game. He has taken four in for a touchdown.
Arkell Smith (Carthage/Univ. of Central Missouri) leads all area receiver in Division II. He has caught 26 passes for 334 yards, and five touchdowns. That is over 111 yards per game.
A redshirt junior, Jaylen Varner (Marshall/Emporia State Univ.) is making his presence felt with almost 15 yards per catch. He has a team leading 94.67 receiving yards per game.
Another redshirt junior, Jonas Bennett (Odessa/Missouri Western State) follows with 87.67 receiving yards per game. Three of his 23 catches have been for a touchdown.
Leading all area receivers in all three NCAA divisions is Ntense Obono (Lawrence/Carleton College). In just two games, the tight end has caught 21 balls for 241 yards and a touchdown. But his 120 receiving yards per game doesn’t lead the team. That can happen when you have a high flying offense that averages 428 yards per game through the air.
Myles Kee (Priory/Illinois Wesleyan Univ.) and Tre Moore (Ritenour/Illinois Wesleyan Univ.) are averaging 75.00 and 54.50 yards, respectively. They are both juniors, and both are playing at Illinois Wesleyan. They are also numbers two and three on our Division III list.
College Football doesn’t have a “Making It Count” award. But it should. It could also be called the “One Catch, One Touchdown” Award. Those with one catch which went for a TD include:
Logan Heigele (Salina Central/Fort Hays State) The sophomore caught a 30 yard TD pass against Northeastern State.
Michael Hagerty (St. Michael the Archangel/Missouri Western State) The red shirt freshman caught a TD catch of nine yards against Lincoln University
Bryce Childress (Trinity Catholic-MO/New Mexico State) The red shirt junior took it to the house for 75 yards against Western Illinois.
Peyton Moore (Shawnee Mission West/William Jewell College) The junior former Viking caught a pass against Fort Lewis and took it 46 yards for the touchdown.
Those are good starts to their seasons!
