Previewing the top five Cougar receivers in 2016

Despite how the Cougars were in the top half of the NCAA in total passing yards last season, there were times when it seemed like the only person catching the ball was Demarcus Ayers.

With Ayers now taking his talents to the NFL, his position is currently vacant. Here are the top five receivers heading into the 2016 season.

Senior Chance Allen

The former University of Oregon Duck is primed and ready to fill Ayers’ shoes after having a successful first season with the Cougars last year.

At 6-foot-3, Allen towers over most defensive backs and will be able to fight for any ball that comes his way.
