Georgia Tech Football: Meet the Newcomers - Wide Receiver

In our look at the offense during last month’s advanced stats season review, we highlighted Eric Eager’s theory that wide receiver is an “Or” position, meaning one guy can make a massive difference in overall performance. We mentioned that Ricky Jeune played a version of this role from 2015-2017, but GT really hasn’t had that guy since DeAndre Smelter and Darren Waller in 2014. The passing game can’t fully takeoff until we have him in place, and today we look at three newcomers who hope to become “that guy.”
