Brian Espanet brings size, hands, and captain energy to UNH’s receiver room
Brian Espanet is a 6-foot-3, 209-pound former senior wide receiver for New Hampshire who stood out as a red-zone threat and reliable big-play target, including a 2021 season in which he led UNH with six touchdown catches. He was also a team captain in his final season, which says a lot about his leadership, maturity, and trust factor in the locker room. The extra wrinkle: he’s known as an articulate, high-energy, radio-ready presence—proof he brings more than box-score production. If you want a physical, dependable receiver with veteran vibes, he fits.
