Donny Navarro News, Rumors, Updates - Northwestern Wildcats | FOX Sports

Top target in blowout loss Navarro caught four of his nine targets for 44 yards during Saturday's 42-7 loss to Wisconsin.

Impact Navarro tied running back Evan Hull for a team-high four receptions in the Wildcats' ineffective offense Saturday. The senior wideout also caught a 21-yard pass from backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan, who stepped in after starter Ryan Hilinski exited with a concussion early in the second half. Navarro has now averaged just 4.0 receptions on 8.6 targets for 34.3 yards through six games in 2022, and his production is unlikely to change much if Sullivan does return Northwestern's primary signal-caller role moving forward.

Leads receiving corps in loss Navarro caught four of his 10 targets for 55 yards in Saturday's 17-7 loss to Penn State.

Impact Navarro finished as the Wildcats' leading receiver in terms of yardage during Saturday's rainy loss, as quarterback Ryan Hilinski struggled to complete passes (15-of-37 passing for 210 yards and a 1:1 TD:INT) while facing a stingy Nittany Lions pass defense. The senior wideout still matched fellow pass catcher Malik Washington in catches and targets during this Week 5 loss. Navarro has averaged 4.0 receptions for 32.4 yards on 8.4 targets through the first five weeks of the season, though he currently sits as Northwestern's third leading receiver behind running back Evan Hull (6.4 receptions, 68.6 yards, 10.7 targets) this season.

10 targets in loss Navarro recorded five receptions (10 targets) for 32 yards during Saturday's 17-14 loss to Miami of Ohio.

Impact Navarro recorded 10 targets for the second time while catching passes from quarterback Ryan Hilinski (114-of-183 passing, 1,194 yards, 5:3 TD:INT ratio) this season. However, the senior receiver has struggled to connect with Hilinski over the first four weeks of the season, hauling in 16 of his 32 passes for just 6.7 yards per reception. Though the Wildcats have leaned more into the passing game this season, Navarro's fantasy value will be limited while catching passes behind wideout Malik Washington (27 receptions, 40 targets, 305 yards) and running back Evan Hull (29 receptions, 36 targets, 311 yards) moving forward into conference play.
