The Arizona Wildcats’ receiving corps has been one of the team’s strongest units this season, and Shawn Poindexter has been leading the way.
Now he’s getting some national recognition.
Pro Football Focus released their five highest-graded receivers of the season so far, and Poindexter checks in at No. 5, with an 87.4 grade.
Poindexter has 16 receptions on the year for 369 yards and two touchdowns, all team-highs. He is on track to be Arizona’s first 1,000-yard receiver since Cayleb Jones in 2014.
In 2017, Poindexter finished the year with 19 receptions for 294 yards and one score, meaning he’s already surpassed most of his stats from last season.
