Caves may lead the Pirates in receptions, but Cash Varner Cash Varner 5'10" | 160 lbs | WR/DB Alburnett | 2027 IA is clearly Kaestner’s favorite target out of their receiving corps. The junior is a long, athletic receiver that can make catches in the short and immediate passing game for first downs on hitch routes and crossing routes over the middle.

Those plays are important, of course, but Varner’s strength more so lies in his ability to go and get a deep ball. Early in the game, he beat a corner on a double-move to the endzone, missing a deep ball that was well-thrown by Kaestner. That didn’t deter his quarterback from going right back to him the next possession. On the second play of their second drive, Varner beat the corner on a go-route, grabbing a 63-yard touchdown pass.
