Method

  • Every wide receiver who played at North Texas 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 North Texas before then isn't here.
  • A decade counts his receiving yards at North Texas 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 North Texas is counted at tonight's numbers against the record book's, which run through the 2025 season.
