2015 Projection: Reserve at Wide Receiver
Shane Mikesky is a fifth-year senior wide receiver and former 3-time state champion in the 110 meter hurdles. He hasn't produced much on the football field so far in his career at Purdue, but he provides depth and speed for a group of receivers full of question marks. He is also a 3-time Academic All Big 10 selection.
With no clear-cut front runner at receiver going in to Spring practice, I thought Mikesky had a shot to break out and show us what he can do with his speed in 2015.
