Nick Nash and Justin Lockhart combined for 157 receptions, 2,365 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2024, creating a major receiving void for San Jose State. The current wide receiver room enters the season with 136 combined career receptions. Matthew Coleman has 46 of those; transfer Danny Scudero caught 53 passes at Sacramento State. Walker Eget returns for his second year as the Spartans' starting quarterback with limited target experience. Offensive coordinator Craig Stutzmann plans to spread targets across a deeper, more balanced group. SJSU intends to rotate slot players including Coleman, Scudero and Malachi Riley.
The pair combined to catch 157 passes for 2,365 yards and 21 touchdowns last season to help the Spartans make their third consecutive bowl game appearance. SJSU opens the season on Friday night against Central Michigan with 136 combined career receptions from every wide receiver on the roster. Matthew Coleman collected 46 of those over the past two seasons with SJSU, and Sacramento State transfer Danny Scudero, a Mitty High grad, caught 53 passes with the Hornets in 2024.
He led the nation in receptions (104), receiving yards (1,382) and receiving touchdowns (16) during the regular season, making him the fourth player in FBS history to achieve the triple crown. The majority of Nash's snaps came from the slot, which is a position that features a prominent workload in Stutzmann's Spread and Shred offense. This year SJSU plans to rotate guys in that spot.
