Jay MacIntyre, WR

He may be the coaches son, but Jay MacIntyre has been an integral member of the offense this season. Is it me, or did it seem like every time the Buffs needed a play, this guy made one? Particularly against Washington State, where the Buffs needed a guy to step up and help win a tough game, MacIntyre was there.

He finished the season with 30 receptions and a 12.2 yards per catch average and though he won’t get the recognition from the media (or opposing defenses) that comes the way of Bryce Bobo and Shay Fields, he should.
