Corey Alston’s Western Michigan Legacy: Big-Play WR With Rare Yards-Per-Catch Juice
Corey Alston was a high-upside Western Michigan wideout whose career stood out for explosive plays, not just volume: Sports-Reference lists him at 21.5 yards per reception for his WMU career, and Western Michigan’s own records show multiple 100-yard games across 1997–2000. He was a big-play threat with legitimate size at 6-1, 213, and reports noted he was converted from high school quarterback, which helps explain his feel for the passing game and downfield versatility. If you want a receiver who can tilt the field and stress defenses vertically, Alston’s profile screams fit.
