Projecting College Football's Top 8 Receiving Stars in 2024

As the next wave of elite wide receivers arrives in 2024, a few standouts from the 2023 college football season are primed for stardom.

Gone are superstars such as Marvin Harrison Jr. and Troy Franklin. However, on their respective teams—Ohio State and Oregon—there's a previous 1,000-yard target ready for the featured role. Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson are names you should be ready to hear often.

Early in the 2024 offseason, eight players stick out as potential household names in the fall.

For clarity, the list is not necessarily a reflection of the receivers I believe will collect the most receptions, yards or touchdowns. Many of them will be around the top of those lists anyway, but the focus is players on projected top teams who, if healthy, should have impressive years.
