Pederson

Pederson (6'5/235) was a prolific weapon for the Warhawks last season, but his numbers have dropped following the departure of Caleb Huntley. The towering tight end has registered 99 total receptions for 1,191 yards and 11 touchdowns in his ULM career. a first team all-Sun Belt selection, Pederson should be a highly sought after commodity.

Pederson (6’5/235) did all of his work in the first half, as he appeared to tweak his right knee during the first half and did not see much time in the second. The redshirt senior being limited freed up additional opportunities for Tyler Lamm, who led the Warhawks in both receptions (five) and receiving yards (66). A first team all-Sun Belt selection last season, Pederson is an integral part of the ULM offense. Should Pederson have to miss any time beyond Saturday, look for Lamm to be the one who steps in to fill the void.

Pederson (6'5/235) entered the transfer portal in December, but ultimately opted to stick it out with ULM. A known offensive quantity on an offense that doesn’t have many, the redshirt senior posted a 43-567-9 receiving line last season. He’ll look to put a hurtin’ on Texas State next weekend.

Pederson (6'5/232) was excellent for the Warhawks this season, catching 43 passes for 567 yards and nine touchdowns. For his efforts the redshirt junior, who’s also the son of Philadelphia Eagles HC Doug Pederson, was a first team all-Sun Belt selection at season’s end. The younger Pederson won’t lack for suitors on the transfer market, especially when taking into consideration the fact that he’ll be eligible to play immediately.

Pederson was Caleb Evan’s top target, and the 6-foot-5, 232-pound tight end had one of his best games of the year. His 47-yard touchdown tied the game at 14-14 in the second quarter, and he ends the year with nine scores. The son of Eagles’ HC Doug Pederson, Josh should be back with the Warhawks in 2020, and he’s a small-school player at the position that teams will assuredly be keeping an eye on. Maybe even the one in Philadelphia, for obvious reasons.

Pederson (6'5/232) caught just one pass on the day, but he made the most of it by scoring late in the fourth quarter. The redshirt junior has been one of ULM’s most productive pass-catchers, as he now boasts a receiving line of 34-415-8 for the season. Pederson, who has caught a touchdown pass in each of the last three games, will look to extend the streak to four when the Warhawks host Coastal Carolina next weekend.

After catching a total of three passes in the two games prior, Pederson (6'5/232) caught five on Saturday and reached the end zone for the first time since he scored twice in an October 5 loss to Memphis. On the season the redshirt junior leads the Warhawks in both receptions (31) and receiving touchdowns (six), and he is second on the team with 351 receiving yards. Pederson will be one of the key names on Georgia State’s scouting report when ULM hosts the Panthers next weekend.

Pederson (6'5/232) caught a six-yard touchdown pass near the end of the first half and then came back around for a 36-yard scoring grab midway through the fourth quarter. The redshirt junior is now up to five touchdown catches in five games, having scored in each of his last four contests. He’ll look to keep it up against Texas State this coming Thursday.

Pederson, who hails from the suburban Kansas City area, made just his second foray into the end zone. The yardage total marked his career best, and this could be a game which jump-starts him for the rest of his collegiate career. Pederson is a large target who could build quite the rapport with QB Caleb Evans heading into 2019. Next up is a battle Saturday against rival Louisiana-Lafayette.

Pederson (6'5/227) was waylaid by a shoulder injury midway through the most recent campaign. He caught 12 passes for 136 yards prior to being sidelined. He made eight starts on the year and should be in the starting mix once more come the start of August camp, assuming he can maintain his health.
