Former North Texas captain who earned his role with toughness and versatility
In his 2016 North Texas season, Kenny Buyers caught 32 passes for 324 yards and a touchdown in 13 games, while also recovering a key fumble on special teams in the bowl game. What makes him stand out is not pure size or flash, but reliability: he was a two-time team captain, started games, and proved he could contribute on offense and in the hidden-yardage parts of the game. As a fit, he profiles as a gritty, coach-trusted, multi-role WR rather than a high-volume headline maker.
