#118 Wide Receiver Corp is shaping up to be stacked!
Potential Super Stars in this group include but are not limited to: Marquez North, Jason Croom, Lavon Pearson, Pig Howard, Josh Malone (if he commits), Ryan Jenkins (from what his talked about)
X-Receiver
1. MarQuez North- Still young and raw but definitely showed everyone what the hype was all about. Another offseason and fine tuning of craft and he can be next Alshon Jeffery of the SEC. Arguably the best freshman receiver in the nation this year. Came up big when we needed: Will not forget that miracle one handed catch on 4th down vs. USCe. Sick.
2. Paul Harris- Quiet this year, i think maybe he is red shirted? Definitely has the measurables and can have an opportunity to have impact. It all depends on how he develops over the offseason.
Slot-Receiver
1. Pig Howard- Definitely proved to be the veteran of the wide receiver group this year, albeit some inconsistent play. Pig is a natural football player, regardless of where he lines up. With better scheming and utilization by the coaches, Pig can definitely be a dangerous weapon next year. Signs from the Georgia game show that he has football clutch in him.
2. Toss up - There have been a lot of good things being said about Ryan Jenkins, his speed and break away ability. Vic Wharton and Devrin Young are also in that mix of speed. Will definitely have some good competition here.
Z-Receiver
1a. Lavon Pearson- Coming out of Junior College, this guy looks to be a huge play receiver. From watching his film, he seems to be a pure receiver with great jump ball skills. I believe he will have a huge impact from day 1 and will surprise people who haven't seen before. Great speed and rare jumping ability combination can be deadly.
1b. Jason Croom- With Calvin Johnson measurables, Croom had big expectations, but progressed slower than expected. Croom began to become a very reliable 3rd down and 4th down short yardage possession receiver. Croom really began to show up in Kentucky game but also had flashes throughout the season of his potential. With more coaching and a more physical style of play, he can also become a very dangerous deep threat target as well as a great short yardage possession receiver.
If Malone Commits I could see him at either of the outside receiver positions, I don't know if he will be red shirted or not. A lot will depend on the progression and development mentioned guys above, but it's really hard to keep a 5* talent on the sideline.
