WIDE RECEIVERS
No. 1 - Ohio State
This one is pretty easy as the duo of Julian Fleming and Jaxon Smith-Njigba will terrorize Big Ten defenses for years to come.

2. Georgia
Marcus Rosemy catches everything and Jermaine Burton brings a nice combination of size and speed as the Dawgs did very well meeting a pressing need.

3. LSU
Kayshon Boutte is going to be a star at LSU and teamed with Koy Moore, who doesn’t get enough attention, the LSU receiving tradition is in good hands.
*****
4. Tennessee
The Vols did very well at wide receiver and I love the combination of Malachi Wideman and Jimmy Calloway when it comes to speed and yards after the catch.
*****
5. Arizona State
The passing game at ASU will improve with Lavon Bunkley-Shelton and the enigmatic Johnny Wilson. High bust factor here but high reward.
*****
TIGHT ENDS
1. Notre Dame
This is an amazing 1-2 punch at tight end with both Michael Mayer and Kevin Bauman possessing size and athletic ability.
*****
2. LSU
Arik Gilbert is a freak of nature at the position and Kole Taylor gets overlooked but brings great length to the position with a frame to fill out.
*****
3. Auburn
Jeremiah Pegues is a massive and physical tight end and Brandon Frazier could be one of the most underrated players in the 2020 class.
