I am intrigued by our returning depth at WR. We lose Dalton Schoen, but we return five players (4 WR & 1 TE) that all had at least 10 catches, 100 receiving yards, and a TD from last season. It will be interesting to see how the ball gets distributed and how much of an emphasis we place on the passing game. With a senior quarterback, several returning WRs, and Lenners/Moore at TE - I would think we could see the passing game make a big jump this season, but it will all depend on play calling.
2019 Receiving Stats for Returning Players
Malik Knowles (So): 27 rec, 397 yds, 3 TDs
Wykeen Gill (Sr): 16 rec, 273 yds, 2 TD
Phillip Brooks (So): 26 rec, 253 yds, 1 TD
Nick Lenners (Jr): 13 rec, 163 yds, 1 TD
Chabastin Taylor (Jr): 10 rec, 161 yds 1 TD
Landry Weber (Jr): 7 rec, 117 yds
Sammy Wheeler (So): 4 rec, 78 yds
Josh Youngblood (So): 9 rec, 73 yds
I think we all expect Knowles to have a big season and be the #1 threat, but I think it will be interesting to see if a clear #2 emerges or if the ball gets spread around. Maybe Briley Moore becomes our #2 receiving threat, that would be a change of pace.
