No. 5 – The wide receivers
August 25, 2014
Happy Game Week everybody! New Year’s Day is just five days away.
As a follow up to yesterday’s entry featuring the new offense, it’s only fitting that we take a look at Reason No. 5 to be excited: the wide receivers.
A great mix of size, speed and hands, this group should have no trouble being happy in the Frogs’ new offense. Four of them should be on the field all the time, and there will be plenty of spirals to go around.
Josh Doctson and JuJuan Story, both 6-foot-4, are big targets. Ty Slanina (above) and David Porter are guys who dig after they catch the ball. Good luck stopping Porter. Just ask Baylor from 2012.
Deep threats include Jordan Moore and Kolby Listenbee. And don’t forget Cameron Echols-Luper and Deante Gray.
More size comes with Charlie Reid, Griffin Gilbert and tight ends Buck Jones (great name), Dominic Merka and Cliff Murphy.
Had enough? True Freshmen Emanuel Porter and Keaton Duhon sneak in to this group.
Just be glad you don’t have to cover these guys.
Tomorrow, No. 4!
