  • Tied for most receiving yards in first career game with a reception by an FBS player since at least 1996. Georgia's Terrence Edwards also had 196 in 1999 against Utah State
  • Most receiving yards in first career game with a reception by a Pac-12 player since at least 1996. Previous high was Colorado's Dylan Edwards who had 135 in this year's season-opener at TCU and Stanford's Bryce Love who had 135 vs. UCF in 2015.
  • Most receptions in first career game with a reception by a Pac-12 player since 2018 (USC's Amon-Ra St. Brown - 7 vs. UNLV)
  • Most receiving yards by a Pac-12 true freshman since 2011 (USC's Marquis Lee - 224 vs. UCLA)
