Billy Conaway brings size, deep-ball juice, and proven playmaking to South Dakota
Billy Conaway entered South Dakota as a 6-1/6-2 receiver with a strong athletic profile and already showed explosive ability in the 2019 season, when he caught 2 passes for 73 yards and a touchdown, including a 56-yard score against Northern Iowa[4][6]. His calling card is vertical threat value: he can stress coverage, win at the catch point, and turn limited targets into chunk plays. The bigger question is current role and usage, since public 2026 roster/stat pages do not show him as an active listed WR for South Dakota, so he looks more like a past developmental piece than a current stat-leader[1][3][12].
