Ball State’s all-time receiving machine still sets the standard
In the 2004 season, Dante Ridgeway was a human highlight reel for Ball State, leading the nation with 105 catches, 1,399 receiving yards and 9.55 receptions per game, while finishing his Cardinals career with school records of 3,030 yards and 238 receptions[2][7]. He stands out for elite volume, reliable hands, and proven production against top competition, plus the kind of short-area separation that made him a Biletnikoff finalist[2][9]. If you want a receiver who can command targets and tilt a game, Ridgeway was that dude.
