Josh Cameron
Moves the chains on third down. Fourth year in the Baylor receiving corps. Named All-Big 12 two seasons running, most recently in 2025. One game to point at: 165 receiving yards and 13 receptions against Utah — Week 12, 2025.
Play style
Reliable target who converts on critical downs. Not flashy; consistently productive.
Money down · 3rd-down role
Catch rate says one thing, EPA says another
10 of 22 caught on third down (45.5%) — EPA/target 0.30 vs 0.57 elsewhere (5 conversions).
Catch rate is disclosed context only, never the gate — conversions and EPA/target are. Interception targets carry no attribution row at any source, so EPA/target here is unfixably, slightly inflated.
