LSU football lost plenty of talent to the 2020 NFL Draft, but names like Racey McMath and several other rising stars remain on the roster.
Head coach Ed Orgeron spoke highly of his wide receiver earlier in the week.
“Racey is doing a great job. Racey is going to be a starter for us,” Orgeron said.
McMath has obviously lived in the shadow of players like Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson in the past, with how stout LSU has been at the position. But he’s made a name for himself, continuing to be a force on special teams while also reeling in 17 receptions for 285 yards and three touchdowns on the 2019 season.

He’s not the only one catching Orgeron’s eye, though. Freshmen wideouts Kayshon Boutte and Koy Moore have also put on some strong performances.
“(Kayshon) Boutte is doing a good job for us. All those guys are doing a great job,” Orgeron said. “I fell like we’re really talented at the wide receiver position. The guy I’m really impressed with is (Koy) Moore. He’s done a great job. From Rummel High School, I think he’s going to have an excellent freshman year.”
It’s going to be hard for Boutte and Moore to see significant time on the field this year with Chase, Terrace Marshall and McMath leading the pack, but they could certainly be players who make a large impact in future seasons.
LSU is set to open the season against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Sept. 26 in Tiger Stadium.
