Doug Belk and Taylor Mays face a stiff challenge in Week 1 of the 2024 college football season. LSU doesn’t just have good receivers; it has a lot of them. LSU Tigers Wire has more on the quality depth LSU brings to the gridiron at the receiver position:
Kelly was asked about LSU losing Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr, especially about how LSU plans to replace its top two receivers from 2023.
“At the wide receiver position, there are probably 6-8 players that will get the opportunity to contribute and make an impact. I think that’s what I like about our receiving core more than anything else, is the depth.”
Kelly highlighted Kyren Lacy as a guy who will emerge and mentioned the speed Chris Hilton put on display in the bowl game.
Kelly likes the flexibility of this group and said LSU brought in the right mix of players to provide depth inside and out.
