Wide receiver Bryce Bobo is ready for a big senior season in 2017 after a strong junior season last year. He caught a career-high 44 passes for 548 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 2016. This spring, he’ll look to be a leader on a very good group of receivers.

Bobo was third on the team in receiving yards, fourth in receptions and third in receiving touchdowns last season. In 2017, he’ll look to be a stronger contributor. With both Shay Fields and Devin Ross returning as well, Bobo has an opportunity to be a strong third receiving option for the Colorado Buffaloes.

It would definitely make for a smoother transition for quarterback Steven Montez as well. The Colorado offense returns a lot of production in the receiving department this spring.
