Method

Every wide receiver who played at Nebraska since 2004, ranked by receiving yards over his games there. Bowl and playoff games count.
The numbers here start in 2004, so a wide receiver who played at Nebraska before then isn't here.
A decade counts his receiving yards at Nebraska in its seasons.
The record book's numbers are the school's own. Where they and the box scores differ for one player, the box scores are missing a game or count bowls another way.
A wide receiver still playing at Nebraska is counted at tonight's numbers against the record book's, which run through the 2025 season.
