LSU has a lot of question marks as it begins the [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] era. The wide receiver room is not one of them.
On3’s Jesse Simonton released his top-five SEC receiver units on Monday, and LSU topped the list.
“LSU has the best collection of perimeter playmakers in the SEC,” Simonton wrote, “They’re built like a basketball team with size, speed, and versatility.”
LSU’s receiver room has been getting hype all offseason with [autotag]Kayshon Boutte[/autotag] being the focus of most discussions. Boutte projects to be one of the best receivers in the country, but LSU has plenty of guys to compliment him.
Big things are expected from slots receivers [autotag]Jack Bech[/autotag] and [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] after they impressed as freshmen in 2021.
[autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag] and [autotag]Chris Hilton Jr.[/autotag] were also part of that dynamite freshmen receiver class last year and have the talent to take the next step at any moment.
[autotag]Jaray Jenkins[/autotag] has been making plays for LSU since 2018 and brings veteran experience to the group. Transfer [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag] adds some experience, as well.
There’s an array of possibilities for how LSU’s season could play out this fall, but this group of wideouts should provide plenty of excitement in games, win or lose.
