MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Perhaps the top wide receiver to ever put on a Middle Tennessee uniform is no longer a Blue Raider, but that doesn't mean head coach Rick Stockstill's receiver cupboard is bare. In fact, it may be the fullest it's been in some time.
Richie James will forgo his redshirt senior season in favor of getting a crack at the NFL, and he'll leave big shoes to fill after setting MT career marks in receptions (244), receiving yards (3,261) and receiving touchdowns (23). But, there are a few guys left on the roster who could step up and fill those shoes, including one guy who James has labeled a better receiver than himself.
