Charleston Southern’s explosive, big-play receiver with return value
Fred Highsmith brings verified playmaking ability and special-teams versatility: after transferring to Charleston Southern’s opponent in 2025, he produced 30 catches for 465 yards and 6 receiving touchdowns in 11 games, while also leading the team in punt return yards. Earlier at Charleston Southern, he flashed as a depth receiver with a 25-yard career-long catch and experience on special teams. His value is his speed, toughness in space, and ability to help in multiple phases; the main question for any roster is whether he can translate that burst into a steadier, every-week target role.
