The decision to go to Colorado was one of LaJohntay Wester‘s best choices. Already, the senior wide receiver had a substantial following after 4 seasons at Florida Atlantic. He recorded 108 catches for 1,168 yards in a stellar season before relocating to Boulder with his younger brother. He now has a new purpose beyond exerting all his strength in football, as his hard work brings rewards. And the star athlete showcases his achievements on his Instagram story.

“Thank you, God, Due time homie, Stand down,” the Colorado prodigy wrote as a caption for a tale on his IG account on November 7. However, what is the accomplishment? According to the narrative, the top athlete was chosen to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl. For those who do not know, this is a post-season NCAA football all-star game that takes place in Alabama, in late Jan or early Feb. It features the top NFL Draft prospects among the players who have reached the end of their college eligibility. You may thus appreciate Wester’s skill as a wide receiver.

Furthermore, Rod Wave’s “Last Lap,” served as the background music during the story that the Buffs’ prodigy portrayed. The lyrics, “I know you looking down smiling at me/I pray that you find some peace, and you’re finally happy/But I can’t sleep, dawg, I cry every fucking night/This’ll probably the hardest chapter of my fucking life (oh, oh)/ Remember how we used to ride plotting on a plan/Me and my nigga had a bond, the world wouldn’t understand,” hint at the most difficult life that led up to his reward today.

The ace wide receiver, however, deserves this kind of recognition because his coach and even teammates have praised his outstanding play in a number of games. Let’s have a look.

Colorado on LaJohntay Wester’s stellar performance

After Saturday’s 34-23 victory over Cincinnati, head coach Deion Sanders expressed his gratitude to Wester, who has been a major contributor to Buffs’ success thus far this season. After a five-catch, 56-yard performance against the Bearcats, the senior received a brand-new No. 1 jersey as a gift. The No. 10 was once worn by Wester. “He wanted the No. 1 when he came here. No. 1 ain’t something you acquire, it’s given to you… He earned it,” Coach Prime stated.

Not only this. Shedeur Sanders wasn’t hesitant to declare his choice for Colorado’s next transfer portal player back on January 8. “We want @la_wester in Boulder,” the Buffaloes quarterback said on X, urging LaJohntay Wester to go to Boulder. On top of this, in terms of  receiving yards (501), and touchdowns (seven) this season, he ranks 2nd on the team behind Travis Hunter. He has been a mainstay in the state’s air assault. Well, in the next Buffs games, we’ll see what he has in store for the fans.
