2020 USF Bulls football preview: How will the receivers fare with Harrell at quarterback?
Cooper Byrd -- Dynasty Sports Staff Writer
USF receiver Mike Holmes had a strong end to to the season as did Marco Mason and it's no coincidence that it came as David Johnson also started to get it going. Johnson is gone now and so is receivers Corey Sharp and Jay Stevens, opening the door of opportunity for a plethora of receivers.
A look at USF’s receiver situation:
Projected depth chart
#4 Mike Holmes, Jr. | 6'0", 184lbs | 86 ovr, 95 spd, 95 acc, 80 cth
#8 Matt Hill, Rs Sr. | 6'1", 202lbs | 86 ovr, 90 spd, 88 acc, 89 cth
#12 Marco Mason, Jr. | 6'2", 211lbs | 81 ovr, 93 spd, 86 acc, 80 cth
#81 James Ellison, So. | 5'11", 189lbs | 67 ovr, 94 spd, 83 acc, 61 cth
#84 Joel Green, Rs So. | 6'1", 199lbs | 76 ovr, 88 spd, 86 acc, 81 cth
#80 Chad Hale, So. | 6'2", 188lbs | 68 ovr, 89 spd, 85 acc, 69 cth
#85 John Dixon, Fr. | 6'3", 213lbs | 67 ovr, 94 spd, 76 acc, 61 cth
Expected starter: Holmes is WR1 with Hill and Mason following up as the next two receivers in any order.
Major storyline: Hill had a decent freshman campaign with 14 catches but caught just 2 passes in 2018 and 12 in 2019. Mason projects to be WR2 but Hill will be an interesting case study as a fifth year senior whose probably got the best hands of the bunch.
