Week 10 left the Big 12 receiving race looking crowded at the top, with a few familiar names still setting the pace and a couple of breakout performances tightening things up.
Arizona State and Colorado featured two of the conference’s most productive pass catchers in the same game, and both made noise. The Sun Devils got the win, but Colorado’s Joseph Williams turned in the bigger stat line, finishing with seven catches for 121 yards and a touchdown. Arizona State’s Reed Harris was right there too, hauling in four passes for 103 yards and a score.
BYU also got a major lift from Legend Glasker, who kept building his case as one of the league’s best wideouts. He posted 118 receiving yards and broke loose for a 75-yard touchdown in the second quarter as the Cougars tried to hand Utah its first loss. For the Utes, Braden Pegan answered with 86 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
After 10 weeks, Reed Harris still sits atop the Big 12 receiving yardage chart with 907 yards. Joseph Williams follows at 853, just ahead of Baylor’s Gavin Freeman at 852.
Oklahoma State has two receivers in the mix with Justin Bowick at 790 and Wyatt Young at 763. Arizona’s Isaiah Mizell is next at 753, then comes Legend Glasker at 703.
Houston’s Amare Thomas has 698, TCU’s Nacari Ashley has 655, and Texas Tech’s Kenny Johnson rounds out the top 10 with 632.
The touchdown leaderboard is just as packed. Bowick leads the conference with 10 receiving touchdowns, while Harris is close behind with nine.
Houston’s Amare Thomas, Utah’s Braden Pegan and Oklahoma State’s Wyatt Young are all tied at eight. Arizona’s Isaiah Mizell and Houston’s Patrick Overmyer each have seven, and Williams sits at six.
A cluster of players has five scores apiece: West Virginia’s DJ Epps, Baylor’s Jayden McGowan, Houston’s Koby Young, BYU’s Kyler Kasper, BYU’s Legend Glasker and Kansas’ Nik McMillan.

Colorados 2027 Class Just Raised A Bigger Concern For Buffs Fans
Colorados 2027 recruiting picture took a hit when four-star offensive tackle LiMarcus Jones backed off his pledge and chose Mississippi State instead. Jones, who had been part of the Buffaloes class, announced the move on social media after what he described as personal reflection and conversations with his family, a reminder that even early-cycle commitments can shift quickly in the modern recruiting game.
For Colorado, the loss stings because Jones brought real national profile to the class as the No. 389 overall player and No. 39 offensive tackle in the 247Sports composite. Offensive line recruiting is always under a microscope, and when a prospect with that kind of ranking changes course, it naturally raises questions about how stable the Buffs 2027 foundation will be as the cycle keeps unfolding.

Colorado Recruiting Suddenly Has A Deion Sanders Problem
Colorados 2027 recruiting class has taken a hit late in the cycle, with three verbal commits backing away from their pledges in recent days. Three-star tackle LiMarcus Jones has already flipped to Mississippi State, while linebacker Jahmiere Portis-Daniels and wide receiver Ryan Ferdinand also moved on, leaving the Buffaloes to sort through an unsettling stretch on the trail as signing day approaches.
For a program that has leaned so heavily on momentum and visibility under Deion Sanders, the timing makes this a notable test. Sanders has acknowledged the situation, but he says his focus remains on the players in the building rather than any concerns about job security, a stance that only sharpens the attention on how Colorado responds from here and whether the staff can steady the class before more damage is done.

Colorado Gets An Early Test As Hargress Tries To Stay Hot
Colorado is getting an early read on what kind of backcourt punch it can count on this season, and Barrington Hargress has been at the center of it. Through the first stretch of the 2026-27 campaign, the Buffaloes have seen Hargress give them the kind of scoring burst that can change the feel of a game in a hurry, while the early schedule has already started to reveal how much they can lean on him when the offense needs a lift.
The next test comes with San Diego, a team that has already shown some resilience of its own behind Dusty Stromer. The Toreros have been part of an early-season stretch that has kept them in games and forced opponents to stay sharp, which makes this a useful measuring stick for Colorado as it tries to sort out its rotation and see whether Hargress can keep the hot hand going against a different kind of challenge.
