6-3 WR with State-Record High School Pedigree and Emerging 2025 Impact at Arizona
Brandon Phelps, a 6-3, 190-lb redshirt sophomore WR for the Arizona Wildcats, brings a rare high school pedigree—holding Arizona’s state record for career receiving yards (4,971) and touchdowns (61) with 282 receptions [1][4][9]. In the 2025 season, he recorded 6 receptions for 82 yards and 1 TD, averaging 13.7 yards per catch, signaling early big-play potential despite limited volume [5][6]. His multi-sport background (also played DE and basketball in high school) fuels his versatility, intensity, and physicality at the catch point [1]. Coaches note he “can be a great player” in UA’s offense, with spring 2026 showing him rising among Arizona’s top playmakers [2][8]. While still developing consistency, Phelps’ size, track-record speed, and high-intensity personality make him a high-upside fit for teams needing a physical, deep-threat WR with room to grow.
