UNLV Rebels football spring preview: Wide receivers

Happy Friday. Our journey through spring practice with the UNLV Rebels brings us to the wide receivers. The entire UNLV team was crippled by injuries in 2016, but no unit was more affected than the wideouts.

Seriously. Things got real bad. So bad that Dalton Sneed was the UNLV starting quarterback in October and pushed into receiving duties by November. He’d catch a single pass in his career as a Rebels wide receiver.

2017 brings a renewed hope for the Rebel faithful, though. When at full strength it can be argued that Tony Sanchez has no greater asset than his talented group of receivers.
