veteran depth receiver with special-teams grit and a track background
Cole Rhoden’s value is less about eye-popping box scores and more about versatility, experience, and toughness. In the 2023 season at South Dakota, he appeared in 10 games mostly on special teams and logged a 6-yard catch in the NCAA quarterfinal against North Dakota State; Colorado State lists him as a redshirt senior WR at 6-0, 180, after stops at Kansas and South Dakota. His differentiators are speed, multi-sport athleticism, and a blue-collar profile that can fit a team needing dependable depth and effort over flash.
