Chart Climbing Wide receiver Dan Bohrer turned in one of the most prolific pass catching seasons in Butler football history in 2008, and his effort boosted him toward the top of Butler’s career receiving lists. Heading into his final campaign, Bohrer stands second on Butler’s alltime list for pass receptions and sixth on the school’s all-time list for receiving yards. He needs just two catches to tie the Butler all-time record of 142, held by Eric Voss (1990-93), and he’s 406 yards shy of the all-time Butler mark of 2,176 receiving yards, also held by Voss. Bohrer needs three touchdown catches to tie the Butler all-time record of 15, held by Mike Chrobot (1975-78).
