Bryce Yates is Pitt’s rising big-play slot weapon
In the 2025 season, Bryce Yates flashed real juice for Pittsburgh with 11 catches for 202 yards and a 68-yard long reception, including a 60-yard touchdown that showed off his downfield burst.[3][7][8] The former three-star from Matoaca has a receiver-friendly skill set: 6-foot, 180-pound size, strong yards-after-catch upside, and the kind of explosive playmaking that can tilt coverage, even if he was still a freshman learning the ropes.[1][11][14] If a team wants a young WR with big-play pop and room to grow, he’s a name worth tracking.[2][3]
