Big 12 football receiving leaders after Week 7 of 2026 season

DJ Epps went off for West Virginia against Cincinnati with 163 receiving yards and a touchdown. Houston also saw elite action from its receivers, with two players posting over 100 receiving yards and at least one touchdown. Some under-the-radar receivers also had a good week, including Oklahoma State's Caleb Hawkins, who caught 125 yards and scored a touchdown.

However, many of the Big 12's top receivers were held in check this week, including Joseph Williams (Colorado), who had only 54 receiving yards. Gavin Freeman (Baylor) had 76 yards, and Reed Harris (Arizona State) had only 63.

Here is a look at the top 10 receivers in the Big 12 in receiving yards after a relatively down Week 7:
