Position preview: UT with plenty of options at wide receiver and tight end

At first glance, the wide receiver position for the University of Toledo is one of the deepest in recent memory.

In Cody Thompson, Jon’Vea Johnson, and Diontae Johnson, the Rockets have three players returning with at least 1,000 career receiving yards and with a season with at least 10 receiving touchdowns. That’s not to mention Danzel McKinley-Lewis, Desmond Phillips, and Bryce Mitchell who are capable, quality receivers in their own right.

“It’s a very competitive group and it’s a group where we have really recruited well at that position,” UT coach Jason Candle said.
