NCAA Receiving - A Midseason Look
There are 380 NCAA wide outs and tight ends from Missouri and Kansas. That doesn’t even count the running backs or trick plays. All right here with the biggest numbers on our leader boards.
Welcome
Welcome to Playing On Sports where we review every Missouri and Kansas athlete who competes in any of 11 sports in the NCAA. Today we take a look at 380 wide receivers and tight ends. A recent newsletter reviewed the 148 local athletes who carry the ball for their team. And a handful of running QB’s were thrown in for good measure. You can see that edition here. Our last newsletter reviewed the 66 local quarterbacks, which is located here. You can also check out our review of Division I Volleyball here. And you can check out our entire history of work here.
There is a weekly podcast that is derived from Playing On Sports. It is co-produced by Missouri Sports Network. It is named “Where are They Now Wednesday”. Follow me on X and you won’t miss it. You will find it here
