Even without Zakhari Franklin, the Roadrunners boast a potent combination of targets headlined by De'Corian Clark and Joshua Cephus.
Today:De’Corian Clark, senior; Joshua Cephus, senior; Tykee Ogle-Kellogg, redshirt senior; Chris Carpenter, junior; Karch Gardiner, redshirt senior; Kyle Eaves, redshirt junior; Jaren Randle, redshirt junior; Jace Wilson, redshirt freshman.Willie McCoy ; David Amador UTSA’s big three at receiver is down to two, as Zakhari Franklin is exploring his options in the transfer portal after setting program records in every major receiving category during his three seasons as the No.
Boasting elite speed and athleticism with a 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame, Clark was UTSA’s most NFL-ready prospect before suffering a torn ACL during a win at UAB on Nov. 5. He had been enjoying a breakout season during his fourth year with the Roadrunners, posting 732 receiving yards and eight touchdowns through eight games.
Cephus also sat out spring practice after undergoing offseason knee surgery, but he’s expected to be ready for the fall after hauling in 87 passes for 985 yards and six touchdowns last season. Taking on an increased role last season following Clark’s injury, Tykee Ogle-Kellogg showed the potential that has been so tantalizing during his five years with the Roadrunners, making four catches for 142 yards and a touchdown against UTEP.
Arriving as a transfer from Colorado last season, 5-foot-11, 155-pound target Chris Carpenter had his first opportunity for starter-level snaps in UTSA’s Cure Bowl loss to Troy. He hauled in seven passes for 59 yards but also dropped a potential game-winning touchdown pass during the fourth quarter.
