CSU has firmly cemented its place as one of the top destinations for wide receivers in the nation.

Less than a month after star receiver Preston Williams announced he would skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft, the Rams landed another highly touted receiver to replace him.

Nate Craig-Myers, a former four-star recruit, announced in September his intention to transfer from Auburn. He signed with Colorado State University early Wednesday morning.

Craig-Myers was rated as the No. 6 player in Florida and the No. 6 receiver in the nation in the 2016 recruiting class by 247Sports.

The 6-foot-2, 202-pound receiver only played three games last season and redshirted. He had 22 catches for 394 yards and four touchdowns in his career at Auburn. On a live show on CSURams.com, coach Mike Bobo said Craig-Myers will have two years of eligibility remaining and can play next year. Bobo said he expects he'll have to sit for a year to the date of his last game with Auburn, so he'll likely miss CSU's first two or three games.

He's a ready-made replacement for Williams, who had one of the best seasons ever by a CSU receiver this season, catching 96 passes for 1,345 yards and 14 touchdowns. His 96 receptions and 14 TD catches are both tied for second on CSU’s single-season list, surpassed only by Michael Gallup’s 100 catches and Rashard Higgins’ 17 TD catches. His receiving yards rank third behind Higgins’ 1,760 in 2013 and Gallup’s 1,413 in 2017.

Williams was another former SEC player, who transferred to CSU from Tennessee and sat out 2017 due to NCAA rules before his lone season as a Ram in 2018.

Williams is likely to join Gallup (Dallas Cowboys) and Higgins (Cleveland Browns) as former CSU star receivers in the NFL.

The Rams also lost star receiver Bisi Johnson to graduation. Johnson had 54 catches for 796 yards and four touchdowns last season.

Once eligible to play, Craig-Myers and rising junior Warren Jackson should be CSU's top two receivers. The 6-6, 219-pound Jackson is another potential star receiver and had 32 catches for 405 yards and four touchdowns as a sophomore.
