BOULDER, Colorado – BYU redshirt senior wide receiver Chase Roberts eclipsed a significant career milestone in the Cougars’ road win over Colorado.
The senior caught his second touchdown of the day in the third quarter, giving the Cougars their first lead. It was the first two-touchdown day of his career.
The four-yard TD put Roberts over the 2,000 yards receiving mark for his career. He is the 15th Cougar to reach the milestone.

Roberts etched his name in BYU history when his one-handed, game-winning touchdown lifted the Cougars past the Arkansas Razorbacks 38-31 the following season.
He started 11 of 12 games in 2023, ending the year with 42 catches for 573 yards and five scores.
The 6’4, 210-pound wideout was a defense’s nightmare last season. He set career-highs in catches (52), yards (854), and yards per catch (16.4) as a junior, leading the team in all three categories.
Roberts started all 13 games as a team captain and was named to the All-Big 12 Third Team by College Football Network and Phil Steele after notching four games with 100+ receiving yards.
