FAU Football: Wide receiver LaJohntay Wester’s receiving ability helps him stand out from the rest

Wester’s eight receiving touchdowns are tied for fourth-most in the nation.

LaJohntay Wester celebrates his first down catch against Rice on Oct. 15, 2022.

Some say it’s how “competitive he is” or his“explosiveness.” But when asked what he thinks separates himself from the pack, sophomore wide receiver LaJohntay Wester said, “I play with heart.”

Throughout the first half of the 2022 season, Wester has become one of the most dominant wide receivers in college football.

Standing at 5-feet-11-inches and weighing 165 pounds, the Palmetto, Fla. native’s sure hands and outstanding ability after the catch currently has him tied for fourth in the nation in receiving touchdowns with eight.
