Wester

Operating as the No. 2 wideout to Travis Hunter, Wester (5’10/163) totaled 74 receptions for 931 yards and 10 touchdowns for Colorado last season, adding a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown. He began his college career with four seasons at Florida Atlantic and made an impact as a returner, receiver, and occasional rusher. Wester has a small frame, but is impactful with the ball in his hands. As a slot receiver, he is elusive and can be used as a gadget piece on offense. He is a limited pass-catcher and lacks the strength to break tackles while a chunk of his college production was manufactured touches close to the line of scrimmage. Wester has the tools to be a returner and gadget receiver at the NFL level.

Wester (5'11/163) rolled up some big-time stat lines early in the season, going over 100 yards with a touchdown in wins over Georgia Southern and FCS Fordham. This line might be more impressive, however, as it came against a conference foe which will be bowl bound this season. Wester has four or more receptions in five of his eight games in 2021. FAU is back in action next Saturday at home against Marshall.
