Former Colorado walk-on receiver Jack Hestera is returning to Boulder after a couple seasons away. The Utah State transfer had his second consecutive productive season in 2024 as he caught 24 passes for 340 yards and 4 touchdowns in his lone season with the Aggies. In 2023, he caught 28 passes for 349 yards and 3 receiving touchdowns at Charlotte.
In the two seasons he was away from the Buffs, the Texas native played in 20 games and made seven starts. Hestera played in 11 games for the Buffs in 2022 after redshirting in 2021 and caught 14 passes for 157 yards.
He is the third receiver the Buffs have added this spring alongside Campbell University transfer Sincere Brown and Florida State transfer Hykeem Williams.
