LaJohntay Wester

You look at Wester's overall numbers, see that he had 62 catches for 719 yards and eight touchdowns, and you may feel encouraged. However, it was a tale of two seasons. Over the last six games of the 2022 campaign, Wester had 23 catches for 277 yards and zero touchdowns. That's concerning, to be sure. Is there any reason for enthusiasm for the receiver? Perhaps. For starters, he's the only returning Owls receiver who had more than five, yes five, receptions in 2022. Second, Wester is potentially getting a better passer under center to throw him the ball. N'Kosi Perry is out, and the former Miami quarterback was quite good last season. However, Casey Thompson is the presumed new starter for the Owls, and he once threw 24 touchdowns for the Texas Longhorns. Also joining Thompson is his former head coach at Texas, Tom Herman. Wester needs to prove himself, but he doesn't have many challengers for targets.
