Ranking college football’s top 10 wide receivers so far in 2023

9. Malachi Corley, Western Kentucky

Corley is a physical specimen who calls himself the “YAC King” (yards after catch) and rightfully so. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound junior has drawn comparisons to San Francisco 49ers star Deebo Samuel for his incredible contact balance and his 538 receiving yards this season rank 16th in FBS. Corley earned Reese’s Senior Bowl Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors for his Week 6 performance against Louisiana Tech in which he caught eight passes for 207 yards and three touchdowns, including a 70-yard score.
