For UK wide receiver Ryan Timmons, the search for consistency continues into his junior year.

Statistically, it’s difficult to find a receiver who has been better than Timmons the last two seasons. The Frankfort, Ky., native led the team in receptions in 2014 with 45 passes for 536 yards and two touchdowns, while grabbing 32 receptions for 338 yards and two touchdowns in 2013, good for second on the team.

But there have been downfalls. Despite leading the team in receptions through 10 games last year, Timmons was moved to second team on the depth chart by head coach Mark Stoops for what he called “performance related” reasons.
