Missouri State’s efficient, explosive veteran slot threat
In the 2024 season, DVontae Key gave Missouri State a reliable big-play target, finishing with 25 catches for 406 yards and 3 touchdowns while averaging 16.24 yards per catch, which ranked 5th in the MVFC and 47th nationally. He also showed versatility as a return man and popped in key conference games, including touchdown catches against Illinois State and Southern Illinois. The differentiator is the field-stretching juice: Key is compact, experienced, and dangerous after the catch, making him a fit for teams that want a polished receiver who can create chunk plays and handle multiple roles.
