Nice to see the WRs getting after it post Spring ball.

https://x.com/MonarcSport/status/1929994702176067902

I know we lost Coleman Owen but I feel like we number of players who can take that next step to be that reliable, go-to WR. And while we may not have a 1000 yd WR this season, I can see 3-4 WRs with 30+ catches like in 2022 (Wiglusz, Jones, Cross, Bostic).

Top Returning WRs
- Chase Hendricks - 40 rec, 471 yds, 1 TD in 2024 - It's his time to shine and take that next step. We've been talking about it since he arrived in Athens
- Rodney Harris - 23 rec, 289 yds in 2024 - Same with Rodney, needs to take that next step to be Mr. Reliable
- Caleb Gossett - 16 rec, 158 yds in 2024

Other WRs
- Max Rodarte - 6 rec, 80 yds in 2024 - showed some flashes last in the season
- Eian Pugh - Good size, wanna see him take the next step
- Eamonn Dennis - Need to get him the ball, elite speed
- Delaney Crawford - Good size, great speed - hoping to see him get some PT
- Khamani Debrow
- Dom Dorwart
- Kaden Hurst

Transfer WRs
- Alfred Jordan - We've had great luck with transfer WRs recently (Wiglusz, Owen), can we get similiar production from Alfred?
- Colton Grover

Yes, a lot can change from now until the start of the season but on paper I feel pretty good about the WR group.

I agree, I really like the wide receivers group, and I think Ohio made a great hire in Andre Allen last year.

Deep room. I have heard good things about Jordan. Hard not to like this group. Toughest job for Coach Allen will be deciding what three to run out there.

Yeah, definitely talent. But Allen ain’t going to be different that DD, WR, going to have to block first.

Have heard nothing but great things about Jordan, he's only 5'10", but I think him in the slot and Hendricks + Pugh outside it could be a nice show.

And on that note... I think Rodarte could work himself into the starting rotation.

We're gonna be a run first team, but it's good to feel good about what we have in the WR room.

Factor in Dennis with track speed...

Sieh holding it down in the backfield...

Only concern I have is who steps up and steps in. We don't need another Wigz/Owen, but it would be pretty sweet if we had a go-to. It's an experienced room so I really have high hopes for one or two guys to step up as Captains and lead the room.
