Caleb Medford brings big-play juice to Kansas State’s receiver room
Medford projects as a **vertical threat** with proven production, posting 887 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns over 2023-24 at New Mexico while averaging 18.5 yards per catch, which points to a receiver who can stress defenses downfield and flip field position quickly.[1][2][4] He earned honorable mention All-Mountain West in 2023 and led Mountain West returning receivers in yards per catch entering 2024, a strong indicator that his value goes beyond raw volume into explosive-play impact.[4][13][14] At 6-foot-0 and 211 pounds, he looks like a fit for a team that wants a sturdy, experienced outside target rather than a pure possession slot piece.[3][8]
