With representatives from two-thirds of the NFL's teams on hand (including at least one general manager), TCU redshirt senior wideout Josh Doctson set the new school record for receptions in a season and solidified his position as a top 50 selection in the 2016 NFL draft with 11 catches for 183 yards and two touchdown in a 40-10 win over West Virginia.The 6-foot-2, 195 pound Doctson is NFLDraftScout.com's top-rated senior wideout,
checking in at No. 4 overall behind Mississippi's
Laquon Treadwell, Ohio State's
Michael Thomas and Baylor's
Corey Coleman among the receivers expected to be make themselves eligible for the 2016 draft.
Doctson currently ranks second behind Coleman in touchdowns for the season, hauling in his 13th and 14th of the year Thursday night against the Mountaineers.
NFL scouts can appreciate his production but, frankly, as the featured target in TCU's spread offense, big numbers are expected. That said, setting records for the most catches in a season in school history in a team's eighth game of the year warrants special attention.
With seven receptions in the first half against West Virginia, Doctson passed
Josh Boyce - now a member of the defending
Super Bowl champion New England Patriots -- for the most receptions in a single season for the Horned Frogs. Boyce caught 66 passes for TCU in 2012.
Doctson caught his 67th pass of the year late in the second quarter and caught five more, giving him 71 catches for a cool 1,250 yards and 14 scores on the year.
