Justin Poerio brings veteran reliability and big-play juice to UC Davis
Poerio has been a steady, multi-year contributor for UC Davis, and in the 2023 season he finished with 16 catches for 316 yards and 2 touchdowns, flashing big-play ability with nearly 20 yards per catch. His differentiator is versatility: he entered college as a converted quarterback, has long been praised for special-teams value, and brings the kind of toughness and football IQ coaches love in a depth-chart chess piece. If you want a receiver who can stretch the field, help in hidden-yardage phases, and keep competing every snap, he’s an easy player to care about.
