2026 outlook

Outside shot for All-Pac-12

Based on 2025: #13 of 41 Mountain West WRs — his program moves to the Pac-12 for 2026

How the All-Pac-12 base rate is computed

A base rate for the rank, not a forecast of this player: 22% of returning players who ranked #11–20 at their position in their conference made an all-conference team the next season (95% confidence interval 19–25%). It was measured on players who stayed in the same conference and is not adjusted for the move to the Pac-12.
