The position currently consists of 14 players competing for starting reps.
With the Owls’ season-opener being less than three months away, the UP will evaluate each position group on the roster. Today, we will look at the wide receivers.
Wide receivers are the primary recipients of passes from the quarterback and are one of the most valuable players on the offense.
The top two options at wide receiver coming into the 2022 season are sophomore LaJohntay Wester and junior Je’Quan Burton.
In 2021, Wester led the team with 65 catches for 702 receiving yards and four touchdowns, therefore, he should be seen as the frontrunner to be the first option coming into the 2022 campaign.
