Spring Review: Wide Receiver

Related Topics: Gus Malzahn, Darvin Adams

Bryan Harsin’s very first spring practice is in the books. Over the next 2 weeks, I’ll take a look at where each position group stands as we head into the long summer off-season.

Just a quick refresher on the new terminology. The X-WR in Harsin and Bobo’s scheme would be equivalent to the 9 in Malzahn’s or often called the “Split End”. He’ll often line up to the boundary by himself where he’ll be tasked with defeating press coverage. Think of guys like Seth Williams, Darvin Adams, and Sammie Coates.

The Z-WR is somewhat similar to the 2 in Malzahn’s scheme though he’ll be asked to do more under Harsin.
