There aren’t many wide receivers in college football, if any, like Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan. 

McMillan was named a PFF Preseason All-American ahead of his team’s first season in the Big 12 Conference and after earning All-Pac-12 honors in 2023 with 90 receptions, 1,396 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. 

McMillan, 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, is a projected first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. 

From PFF: “If you haven’t yet heard of McMillan, now is the time to start buying his draft stock. The 6-foot-5 true sophomore appears to have great chemistry with Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita and started to break out as soon as the team made Fifita the starter.”

McMillan ended 2023 on a streak of five consecutive games with at least 100 receiving yards, including a virtuoso performance in a road win over Arizona State in the regular-season finale — 11 receptions for 266 yards and 1 touchdown. 

Arizona went 10-3 in 2023 and capped the year with a 38-24 win over No. 12 Oklahoma in the Alamo Bowl, with McMillan catching 10 passes for 160 yards. 

The Wildcats open the season at home against New Mexico on Aug. 31.
