Last Game: 8 receptions, 97 yards, 4 touchdowns

When you throw the ball 60+ times, you’re going to have happy receivers. And one of those happy receivers includes Gabe Marks. He only hauled in eight receptions for 97 yards vs Arizona — a number you’d expect to much higher vs that secondary — but he caught four touchdown passes.

He is an exceptional talent, and one that could have gone anywhere in the nation during his recruiting process, but somehow he chose Washington State, and he’s emerged as one of the top receivers in the nation. Because he gets so many targets, he’s able to show off his stuff and prove himself a top choice among receivers come NFL Draft time.

The great thing about this Washington State offense is that it hasn’t missed a beat all season long, with the exception of the Portland State game. So with five more games this season, Gabe Marks will start turning some heads, especially if Washington State continues this three game win streak.
