WR/TE position profile: Sutton, Hennigan anchor experienced receiving corps

The 2019 App State pass-catching group is one of the most dynamic units on the roster with its depth and speed.

“It’s a brotherhood,” junior wide receiver Malik Williams said. “We know each other and we know what we have to do.”

Led by junior wide receiver Corey Sutton, the Mountaineers return seven of quarterback Zac Thomas’ top eight receivers from last season. Sutton led the Mountaineers with 10 touchdowns, 773 receiving yards, 44 receptions and an average of 17.6 yards per reception last season.

Sutton is a rare breed of receiver, combining above-average speed and great size with superb hands and route-running abilities.
