With Ole Miss having to replace two incredible talents in Laquon Treadwell and Cody Core, there was reason to question whether the remaining receivers would be able to fill the void in 2016. Through five games against some talented secondaries, they’ve displayed more than enough to free us of any dumb concerns we may have had. Beyond just providing stability at the position, the Ole Miss receivers have exceeded expectations and shown that they firmly belong in the conversation of best receiving corps in college football.
It wasn’t exactly a secret that so much of Hugh Freeze’s recruiting success is concentrated on the receiver position, to the point that it gets hard to keep track of all of the blue-chip pass catchers he’s reeled in to Oxford.
