Dallas Dudley, Abilene Christian WR: the 2026 season story
Dallas Dudley is a senior wide receiver for Abilene Christian (UAC). He ranks 748th of 988 wide receivers in Division I by the Player Index, which judges every wide receiver on the measures that matter at the position, adjusted for the opponents he faced.
Scouting report
Why it matters. Every measure is set against every ranked wide receiver, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team. Dallas Dudley's strongest measure is target success rate at 50%, 210th of 485 (the average is 49%). His weakest is receiving yards per game at 18, 454th of 485 (the average is 42).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His receiving yards per game, 18, ranks 454th among 485 ranked wide receivers.
Against every wide receiver
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked wide receivers he sits, on average, in the 13th percentile for volume, 26th for efficiency and 32nd for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 8 games, Dallas Dudley's best came in week 10 at Tarleton State and his quietest in week 1 at Texas Tech.
When it matters
Why it matters. Third downs, the red zone and games against good teams are where drives and seasons are decided.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
National and conference
Why it matters. The Player Index puts every wide receiver on one scale, adjusted for the defenses or offenses he faced, so a rank here is comparable across conferences. Dallas Dudley is 315th of 503 FCS wide receivers and 21st of 27 in the UAC. Next up nationally is Luc Carroll of West Florida, 0.01 ahead on the index.
Career
Why it matters. A player's track record is the best guide to whether a season like this one is likely to last. His best season by the Player Index was 2025 at Abilene Christian, 593rd of 1,095 wide receivers.
Wide receivers like him
Why it matters. Players with similar profiles tend to be used the same way, which makes them a quick way to picture his game. His closest match this season is Tyree Saunders of North Carolina Central.
