In 2023, he set the single season record for receptions with 85. In 2024, he became the first Hurricane wideout to post back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons (1,092\u2013 2023; 1,127 \u2013 2024). Restrepo earned consensus NCAA All-American first-team recognition in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Restrepo didn&#8217;t get picked in the NFL Draft, presumably because of a Pro Day 40-time that was slower than expected.<\/p>\n<p>Now he&#8217;s with the Titans, trying to stick.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think I just have to keep being consistent,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I come in this building each and every day and work my hardest, and I have great mentors around me.
