BOCA RATON — It wouldn’t quite be a Lane Kiffin-led offense without explosive wide receivers, now would it?
Whether it was Dwayne Jarrett, Steve Smith, and Marquise Lee at USC or Amari Cooper in Alabama, Kiffin has turned top college wide receivers into elite, NFL-caliber players. Despite losing key seniors Kalib Woods and Kamrin Solomon to graduation, Kiffin’s second season at Florida Atlantic promises another strong year from a deep wide receiving core, many of whom have the talent to play at the next level.
Sophomore Willie Wright emerged as a legitimate threat last season, leading the team in catches (56), receiving yards (657), and receiving touchdowns (6) as a true freshman.
