Sam Bonansinga is a steady, productive Southern Illinois target with real game-to-game reliability
In the 2025 season, Sam Bonansinga played in all 12 games and made 6 starts, finishing with 17 catches for 196 yards and 1 touchdown, including a season-best 5 catches for 82 yards against Illinois State. He profiles as a dependable, assignment-sound receiver rather than a pure splash-play merchant: reliable enough to earn snaps, versatile enough to contribute in multiple roles, and experienced enough to handle pressure moments without looking sped up. If a team wants a polished, tough, lower-drama WR who can keep drives alive, he’s a legitimate fit.
