It’s no secret that the Cincinnati Bearcats lost a lot last year in terms of pass catchers. The all-time leading receiver in Cincinnati football history, Shaq Washington, is gone. So are TD machine McKale McKay, deep threat Chris Moore, and breakout performer Johnny Holton – All have moved on to the NFL. Max Morrison and Alex Chisum? Also gone.
UC returns just three wide outs who made a reception in 2015: senior Nate Cole, sophomore Khalil Lewis, and junior Tshumbi Johnson. Cole is the only Bearcat to have significant production last season, when he caught 19 balls for 262 yards.
