Makai Lemon News: Posts three touchdowns in defeat

Lemon caught 7 of 15 targets for 34 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 42-27 defeat versus Oregon. He also completed one pass for 24 yards and a touchdown.

Lemon connected on a HB option play, and he also found the end zone twice thanks to massive target volume. Lemon's 1,124 receiving yards place him third nationally in the FBS rankings, and he's tied for sixth with 10 touchdowns alongside standouts like Jeremiah Smith and Elijah Sarratt. It's rarified air for Lemon, who will likely declare for the NFL draft once the postseason concludes. It's also possible that he'll skip the eventual bowl game, but not before he faces UCLA this week.
