Wester’s standout season for the Buffaloes cemented his status as a top prospect. In his lone season at Colorado after transferring from Florida Atlantic, the smooth and dynamic receiver recorded 74 receptions for 934 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also electrified fans with a punt return touchdown against Utah, further showcasing his versatility and playmaking ability.

The news of Wester’s Combine invite comes on the heels of his impressive performances during East-West Shrine Bowl practices, where he quickly emerged as one of the event’s standout players. Through two practices, Wester was named one of the top four performers, turning heads with his route running, hands, and ability to create separation. His performance during the Shrine Bowl solidified his reputation as a rising star and proved he could shine in front of NFL scouts.

After spending four seasons at FAU, where he earned All-AAC honors, Wester transferred to Colorado and seamlessly transitioned to the Power Four level. He quickly became a favorite target of quarterback Shedeur Sanders, developing strong chemistry in a revamped Colorado offense under head coach Deion Sanders. Wester’s ability to perform at a high level in the Big 12, coupled with his special teams contributions, made him a valuable asset for the Buffaloes.
