As guys like Amari Cooper, Kevin White, Dorial Green-Beckham and Sammie Coates vie for the attention of NFL franchises, college football has slipped into spring mode.

Surely there will be wideouts emerge that we don’t yet know by name. But as of now, here are some of the receivers we expect to dominate college football in 2015.

Duke Williams, Auburn: ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. already has tagged him as the No. 1 NFL receiver prospect of the 2016 draft. He could’ve been taken at least in the first two days of this year’s draft. How will he handle all the expectations especially with a new quarterback and sidekick Sammie Coates plying his wares as a professional? And will Gus Malzahn tweak the offense that’s propelled Auburn in recent seasons to emphasize his talent?

Williams will draw a lot of attention from opposing secondaries, whether or not the Tigers can develop strong second and third options. Still, he has a strong chance to lead the SEC in receiving yards and become a Top 15 pick in next season’s draft. An athletic 6-foot-2, he recently posted a picture of himself weighing a presumably-chiseled 232 pounds. A 1,000-yard season sounds like a good low-end projection if he stays healthy.

Pharoh Cooper, South Carolina: If Steve Spurrier can’t find a quarterback to get him the ball, he may just install Cooper behind center as a triple threat. Cooper’s abilities as a runner and passer make him an interesting player and give the Gamecocks the ability to get creative. But he’s most dynamic as a receiver, contributing 1,136 yards in that role in 2014.

The SEC will feature some tremendous running backs in Leonard Fournette, Derrick Henry and Nick Chubb. Dak Prescott and Jeremy Johnson lead a group of quarterbacks hoping to at least duplicate the effort of last year’s group. There are other dynamic receivers. But Cooper may be the single most important offensive player returning in the SEC next year. Expect South Carolina to lean on him as much as possible.

Nelson Spruce, Colorado: The Buffaloes are the Vanderbilt of the Pac-12 minus the brief recent run of respectability. But CU still produces some nice NFL talent on occasion, including Seattle Seahawks rookie wideout Paul Richardson. Spruce will try to become the next player in that lineage after a monster 2014 in which he put up 1,198 receiving yards on a 2-10 team. (He also caught 19 passes for 179 yards and three touchdowns in one of those ridiculous 59-56 double-overtime games that accented Pac-12 play last year.)

Sefo Liufau returns at quarterback, and though he’s not an upper-echelon guy in the Pac-12, he is accurate, completing 65.3 percent of his passes as a sophomore. Colorado should trail in a lot of games again this year, so expect the team to throw the ball plenty. There’s no reason to expect a drop-off in production from Spruce, who broke all sorts of school records last season.

Corey Coleman, Baylor: Quarterback Bryce Petty is gone. For anyone who has followed Baylor football during the Art Briles era, the correct response for the Bears offense is ‘so what?’ Seth Russell should put up big numbers just like every player does at the position.

It helps that he’ll throw to the best returning pair of receivers in college football in Coleman and KD Cannon, who became the sixth and seventh receivers in school history with 1,000-yard seasons. Coleman missed the first three games of last season with a hamstring injury, but still finished the year with 1,119 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. He could threaten for the NCAA receiving title this fall.

Josh Doctson, TCU: Horned Frogs quarterback Trevone Boykin may have been the biggest beneficiary of TCU’s offensive overhaul, but Doctson was a less-heralded second.

At 6-foot-4, with good timing that enables him to high-point catches, Doctson is a great asset on deep balls and in the red zone. The Horned Frogs return 10 of 11 starters on an offense that averaged 46.5 points per game, and Doctson will be the go-to option. His 1,018 yards and 11 touchdowns in ’14 were cute by Big 12 standards, but expect an even more explosive season from Doctson.

Sterling Shepard, Oklahoma: He got within one long completion of 1,000 receiving yards last year — 48 seconds into the eighth game of the season. But he injured his groin on that 46-yard catch against Iowa State and made only one reception in the final five games. By the way, the Sooners lost only two games with a healthy Shepard — 37-33 at TCU and 31-30 vs. Kansas State. OU then closed the season 2-3.

After topping 100 yards in five of his seven complete games, Shepard finished the season with 970 receiving yards on 19.0 yards per catch. The Sooners haven’t been explosive enough on offense in recent years, but Shepard should be a big answer to that problem again this fall.

Tyler Boyd, Pitt: Boyd is a classic illustration of why numbers don’t always tell the full story. Not that his numbers were anything short of spectacular — he caught 78 passes for 1,261 yards as a true sophomore.

But quarterback Chad Voytik was no great shakes, and if you thought Amari Cooper drew a lot of attention from opposing secondaries, you didn’t watch the Panthers play. The team’s second-leading receiver managed just 201 yards. When Pitt threw, the ball went to Boyd about half the time. Then consider that Pitt rarely did throw, preferring to turn 6-foot-2, 250-pound running back James Conner into a mule. (Conner fell one carry short of five 30-carry games.)

The first-team All-ACC selection is destined for the NFL, perhaps after the 2015 season. He and Conner are as talented of a RB-WR tandem that exists in college football. It’s too bad the rest of the team isn’t good enough to get them more acclaim.

Mike Williams, Clemson: A tall, talented receiver named Mike Williams. Where have we heard this before?

Despite extreme youth on offense last season for the Tigers, as well as drama at quarterback between injuries and controversy with Chad Kelly, Williams topped 1,000 yards as a sophomore on just 57 catches. The team’s biggest deep threat should be targeting an All-ACC selection in 2015 despite offensive coordinator Chad Morris’ acceptance of the SMU head coaching job.

Assuming quarterback Deshaun Watson is healthy, Williams should be the centerpiece of the conference’s most explosive offense this fall.

Rashard Higgins, Colorado State: A Biletnikoff Award finalist last year along with Alabama’s Amari Cooper and West Virginia’s Kevin White, Higgins will have to perform in 2015 without quarterback Garrett Grayson and head coach Jim McElwain, who have moved on to the NFL draft and Florida, respectively.

Don’t expect the Rams to install a Wing T offense by this fall, though. Higgins led FBS with 1,750 receiving yards last season despite missing one game due to injury.

Higgins is a great deep threat, scoring 17 touchdowns and averaging 18.2 yards per catch, but needs to get better at releasing off the line of scrimmage against physical corners. CSU needs to develop a new quarterback, whether it’s Nick Stevens or someone else. But expect eye-popping numbers from Higgins again.

Others Considered: Laquon Treadwell, Ole Miss; Demarcus Robinson, Florida; De’Runya Wilson, Mississippi State; Jordan Payton, UCLA; Byron Marshall, Oregon; Leonte Carroo, Rutgers; DaeSean Hamilton, Penn State; Michael Thomas, Ohio State; Mike Dudek, Illinois; KD Cannon, Baylor; Artavis Scott, Clemson; Quinshad Davis, North Carolina; Corey Robinson, Notre Dame; JuJu Smith, USC
