Top 6 Wide Receivers in the Pac-12
By Mark Allen
1. Robert Woods
Woods in my mind is clearly the best WR in this conference. Expect him to put up the same kind of numbers that he did last year. (1,292 yards & 15 TDS) Also, a pretty effective KR and PR. He’s gotta be healthy in order for USC to try and get back to the BCS title game. Woods is coming off a great season but he also hurt his angle at the end of last year.
2.Marquess Wilson
Here’s a name, everybody loves. Our own Marquess Wilson. Only reason, He’s not better than Woods is because he still needs to clear up some things in his game before I can say he is. But Wilson is very very talented. Wilson had 1,388 receiving yards last year with 12 Touchdowns. Of course with Mike Leach as his head coach, Wilson may put up better numbers this season. Wilson is a big receiver but with a slender frame but with excellent speed. Very shocking to believe he was only a 3-star coming out of High School.
3. Keenan Allen
Allen is a very big wide receiver at 6’3” 205 pounds. Allen is a very good receiver and puts up very good numbers but with a sub par QB in Maynard. Allen had 98 receptions and 1,343 yards. One of the best NFL prospects in college football this season. Allen is a very dangerous WR that is overlooked by most of the country.
4.Marquise Lee
Was only a Freshman this past season and had a very good year and is already considered one of the top WR’s in the country. Lee had 73 catches last season along with 1,143 yards. Lee will be more of a household name and Woods and Lee has to be one of the most dangerous WR’s duo’s in the nation.
5. Markus Wheaton
Wheaton will be a Senior this upcoming season and is coming off a solid Junior campaign. Last season, Wheaton had 73 receptions and 986 yards. Wheaton is one of the players that I think will breakout this season. But, that will only happen if Mannion continues to grow and cleans up on his interceptions.
6. Kasen Williams
UW fans have a lot to be excited about at Washington. Kasen didn’t put up Marquess Wilson numbers in his Freshman season. He had 36 receptions and 427 yards with 6 TD’S to go with that. Very solid season. Kasen will have to get the ball a lot more at UW, If he’s going to put up huge numbers. Kasen’s added on some pounds this off-season and is ready to shine for the Huskies. He’s another guy to watch out for this season.
