2022 Miami Hurricanes football preview: The future is bright at receiver
Adriana Edwards - Dynasty Sports Staff Writer
A year ago, Miami returned just one receiver in Dee Wiggins who ended up finishing the season fourth on the depth chart. Miam now returns four receivers and the room got even more talented with the addition of a couple of high caliber recruits.
Travis Johnson's athleticism has jumped off the page with the late addition taking some first-team snaps in a rotation that features potentially college football's best slot receiver in Eddie Clark and the fastest man in college football in Sean Johnson.
With all that being said, a look at Miami’s wide receiver situation:
Projected depth chart
#4 Eddie Clark, Jr. | 6'0", 224lbs | Lusk, WY | 93 ovr, 87 spd, 93 acc, 98 cth
#88 Sean Johnson, So. | 6'1", 199lbs | Knik-Fairview, AK | 86 ovr, 99 spd, 96 acc, 81 cth
#5 Kenneth Kent, So. | 6'3", 182lbs | Miami, FL | 82 ovr, 91 spd, 93 acc, 83 cth
#80 Travis Johnson, Fr. | 6'2", 198lbs | Calumet City, IL | 77 ovr, 92 spd, 91 acc, 71 cth
#85 Deshawn Swain, Fr. | 6'0", 198lbs | Miami, FL | 78 ovr, 85 spd, 84 acc, 75 cth
#83 Dusty Simpson, Fr. | 5'11", 183lbs | Robinson, TX | 75 ovr, 84 spd, 81 acc, 74 cth
#87 Justin Sarria, So. | 6'4", 211lbs | Evergreen, AL | 73 ovr, 91 spd, 81 acc, 80 cth
Expected starters: The top three returns in Clark, Johnson and Kent. Kent quietly put together just as productive of a season at receiver as Sean Johnson did.
Major storyline: Clark splashed onto the scene as Miami's best receiver last year after catching just eleven passes the year before. Does he take that next step into an elite receiver?
