Georgia transfer Landers finally emerges at wide receiver for Toledo

Questions about Matt Landers began in February, as soon as the former Georgia Bulldog announced he was transferring to Toledo.

The 6-foot-5 wide receiver drips with dynamism. A member of Georgia’s celebrated 2017 recruiting class, Landers was projected to wreak havoc for defenses in the Southeastern Conference. But he only caught 12 passes for 132 yards and one touchdown in 25 games.

A change of scenery for the St. Petersburg, Fla., native, and a Toledo offense that’s produced multiple NFL wide receivers over the past 15 years, would result in a cornucopia of yards and touchdowns. Throughout the spring and summer, UT fans were enraptured by the possibilities.
