2026 outlook

Outside shot for All-Sun Belt

Based on 2025: #28 of 52 Conference USA WRs — his program moves to the Sun Belt for 2026

How the All-Sun Belt base rate is computed

A base rate for the rank, not a forecast of this player: 15% of returning players who ranked #21 or lower at their position in their conference made an all-conference team the next season (95% confidence interval 13–17%). It was measured on players who stayed in the same conference and is not adjusted for the move to the Sun Belt.
