Ranking the best wide receivers ahead of the 2023 season

Who made the cut for the top 20 WRs in our “way-too-early” list from College Wire’s senior editor Patrick Conn?

The 2023 college football season will be here before you know it. Once it kicks off, all eyes will be on the field and specifically the offenses.

While Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Michael Penix Jr, and many other quarterbacks will command the headlines, they need their receivers to make big plays for them.

The Pac-12 might have a great collection of quarterback and wideout duos, but the top pass catcher plays in the Big Ten. Marvin Harrison Jr and Emeka Egbuka are ready to put on a show once again. Both receivers racked up over 1,000 yards with 14 and 10 receiving touchdowns respectively. It will be up to Kyle McCord to get them the ball.

It won’t just be about the Big Ten and Pac-12 in the upcoming season as the ACC, Big 12, and SEC also have their fair share of notable receivers ready to make their mark on the 2023 campaign.
