The 2018 Yellow Jackets will take the field needing to replace one of their staples on the perimeter this fall. Perhaps the biggest loss on the offensive side of the field heading into this season will be standout WR Ricky Jeune. He caught 25 passes for 545 yards and 6 touchdowns in 2017. The statistical leaders in receptions behind him were A-back Qua Searcy and WR Brad Stewart, who had 4 receptions a piece.
That’s a lot of production to replace in the receiving game.
For a team that doesn’t throw the ball much, the Georgia Tech offense fairly heavily relies on the pass in order to keep the defense honest.
