LSU develops wide receivers at an elite level. So does Lincoln Riley. LSU’s passing game and USC’s passing game will both be on display in the Week 1 game every college football fan will want to watch. When LSU has the ball, its receivers will challenge Doug Belk’s USC secondary in a prime-time position-unit clash which could decide this duel. LSU Tigers Wire has more on what Brian Kelly is saying about LSU’s receivers in 2024:
The obvious next-man-up is Kyren Lacy, who enters his fifth season of college football poised to be the top option after turning in a productive 2023 season despite not seeing as many targets as Nabers and Thomas.
“I don’t think you look towards one player,” coach Brian Kelly said Monday at SEC Media Days per On3. “I think when we look at our football team in its totality, there will be a number of players that we’ll count on. Kyren Lacey, he will be certainly a player that we lean on. But I think at the wide receiver position, there is probably six to eight players that will get the opportunity to contribute and make an impact.”
Kelly also mentioned Chris Hilton Jr. as a returning player who could break out, while he’s optimistic about the transfer additions of CJ Daniels, a 1,000-yard receiver at Liberty last season, and Zavion Thomas, who also served as a return specialist at Mississippi State.
