Chimere Dike breaks down improvements in speed, wide receiver room ahead of 2024 season

One receiver flying under the radar is Wisconsin transfer Chimere Dike. The 5th year senior combined for 1,478 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns across four seasons with the Badgers. Dike’s most productive collegiate season came in 2022, where the 6’0, 195-pound wide receiver totaled a career high 47 receptions for 689 yards and six touchdowns. Dike was catching passes from a familiar face that season, current Gators’ quarterback Graham Mertz.

The connection on the field between Dike and Mertz has been evident throughout spring and fall camp. You’d be hard pressed to find a practice rep that results in the duo failing to connect in stride or poor ball placement from the field general.
