Tyjaun Mayfield brings slot-speed value, but current WSU impact appears limited
Mayfield’s calling card is speed and separation ability: Washington State listed him as a junior-college transfer after he ranked 11th among California community-college players in yards per game (97.9) and 12th in catches per game (6.1) in his sophomore season, with WSU noting he was the conference’s leading receiver. At Washington State, his on-field role has been modest so far, with sports-reference showing 3 catches for 43 yards in the 2001 season. He looks like a useful fit for a team needing an undersized, quick slot target who can win underneath and after the catch, rather than a volume X-receiver.
