Murray State’s proven chain-mover with big-play juice
Michael Slater was a high-end producer for Murray State, with reports noting he led the Racers in receiving in consecutive seasons and finished his college run with 85 catches for 1,419 yards and 12 touchdowns in those two years. In the 2001 season, he was a preseason All-OVC pick and showed up as a volume target with 7 catches for 144 yards in one conference game, pointing to a receiver who can win both underneath and downfield. The appeal is simple: reliable hands, steady production, and enough burst to stress coverage. If you want a WR who can move chains and threaten after the catch, he fits.
