Antonio Gandy-Golden, WR, Liberty
Lions GM Bob Quinn has a definite type at wide receiver: strong, long-armed, sticky-handed but not necessarily great at creating separation. That’s Gandy-Golden, one of the most prolific receivers in the NCAA this year. He’s led the Flames to a bowl-eligible six wins already in their first season as a full FBS-level program.
Gandy-Golden has a similar style of game to Kenny Golladay, and at 6-4 and 220 pounds he brings the same kind of physical presence. There’s more speed and route precision than Travis Fulgham, the late-round prospect the Lions drafted in 2019. He could be in the same range as Golladay, a Day 2 prospect from a non-power school who thrived at making catches along the sidelines with incredible body control.
Gandy-Golden and the Flames play Virginia at noon on the ACC Network. The Cavaliers are without standout CB Bryce Hall but still present a stiffer challenge than usual for the big wideout.
