2026 outlook

Outside shot for All-Sun Belt

Based on 2025: #28 of 52 Conference USA WRs — his program moves to the Sun Belt for 2026

How the All-Sun Belt estimate is computed

15% estimated, 95% confidence interval 13–17%. Base rate measured from players who finished at a comparable rank in their conference and came back the next season. It is an estimate from a small sample, not a forecast of this player. The base rate was measured on players who stayed in the same conference; this estimate is not adjusted for the move to the Sun Belt.
