I didn't pay attention to if he was on the field last weekend, but he didn't have any catches. Did he play? Thought he was going to be our man with size and speed in the receiving corps.
 
ha well as well as lenz played, i wouldn't mind another receiver or two with the same day as lenz.
 
Tough to say he hasn't shown much when the ball has rarely, if ever, been thrown at him. Our WR's are needed for blocked just as much as pass catching so that needs to be evaluated as well. If he is option #3 or 4 on plays, we rarely have time to hit those so it would make sense that he hasn't had a chance to produce.

He's a redshirt freshman.

It's completely reasonable for a RS freshman to play like he has -- in fact, it's a great sign he's getting PT with the experience at WR. However, I do admit that I hoped for more. If he was going to be an all-B12 type WR, I think he most likely would've shown it by now.
 
hes played plenty. just hasnt been targeted a whole lot. if he runs good routes and gets other people open, thats fine by me. helps the team win

I agree, if a player is going to be special, he should do more than just play special teams as a frosh. Sincerely, AJ and Jake

I totally agree with this and was really hoping to see him get some passes thrown his way instead of special teams but it looks like he may have the most solo tackles so far on special teams. I would really rather see him catching passes.

Because LBs are the same as skilled position players. Wait, they aren't. Look at the best receivers the Big12 has produced lately. They all were producing monster numbers as sophomores. Is Bundrage going to do that? Likely not, so I am going to say he won't be the next Dez Bryant, Blackmon, or Crabtree.

No knock on him, but he was not the most highly valued player coming out of HS, and is showing limitations. Jantz threw a couple his way early in the season, and he didn't really show great ability tracking the ball down the seam or separating from the defender.

Hopefully he puts up numbers his sophomore year, since he has a pretty good shot of being our #1 since Lenz, Young, Horne, and Tiller will all be gone.
 
I think he'll have a big game soon. His size is something we don't have a lot of, and with Barnett at quarterback I think we'll see him take some shots to Bundrage when he gets single coverage against a shorter corner.
