FoxSports expert Bruce Feldman ranked the top receiving corps in the country, and three from the SEC checked in the top 10. It should be noted the tight ends were also included in the receiver grouping.
Alabama (No. 2), Texas A&M (No. 6) and Ole Miss (No. 10) were the three that made the cut, all from the SEC West. The Clemson Tigers finished No. 1, edging out the Crimson Tide.
Feldman mentions Calvin Ridley as breaking Amari Cooper’s school record and picking right up where he left off. ArDarius Stewart and Cam Sims also got a shoutout from Feldman, as well as Bowling Green transfer Gehrig Dieter and tight end OJ Howard.
Should Texas A&M get solid quarterback play from Trevor Knight and the receivers stay healthy, this is a group that could really take it to the next level. The electric Christian Kirk headlines the group, while Josh Reynolds, Ricky Seals-Jones and Speedy Noil are also playmakers. Expect big numbers from the Aggies’ receivers this season.
Ole Miss’ receiving corps is headlined by its tight end Evan Engram. Joining Engram is Quincy Adeboyejo, Damore’ea Stringfellow, Van Jefferson and DaMarkus Lodge. That’s a loaded group headlined by the SEC’s best returning quarterback in Chad Kelly.
