On3 updated its top 25 wide receiver rankings entering Week 3, and [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] made the cut at No. 7.
Nabers entered this season as the No. 1 receiver on the roster, and he is off to a hot start this year. He had six receptions for 67 yards against Florida State and he had five receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown against Grambling State. On the list of top 25 wide receivers, Nabers is in seventh place.
He is [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag]’ favorite target and he is set for his best season as a Tiger. If LSU is going to go a long way this year, Nabers will be a major reason why. Nabers led the Tigers last season with 72 receptions for 1,017 yards and three touchdowns.
A steady workhorse for LSU, Nabers nabbed his first touchdown of the season on Saturday in a 72-10 win over Grambling. He finished the game with five catches for 87 yards and a touchdown.
So far through two games this college football season Nabers has logged 11 catches for 154 yards and a touchdown. Given that one of those games was against Florida State, that’s a pretty quality early output.
LSU travels to Starkville, Mississippi on Saturday to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs in what is considered to be a ‘trap game.’ That is mainly due to the fact that the game kicks off at 11 a.m. CT. Kelly will need Nabers to show up in a big way on Saturday morning to beat the Bulldogs.
