Kayshon Boutte, Wide Receiver
No. 23 Overall
Kayshon Boutte was a player who flashed late in the 2020 season and is expected to be the featured wide receiver in the offense. Arik Gilbert and Terrace Marshall Jr won’t be there to get targets so that means a lot more Boutte during this season. Can Max Johnson find him early and often to get the passing game rolling?
I’m not sure how many true freshman can be 6-0 (or smaller?) and get separation as an outside receiver. To do so in the way that Boutte did was remarkable. Once Terrace Marshall Jr. opted out, Boutte was lights out. In his last 3 games, Boutte averaged 176 receiving yards on 9 catches. The vast majority of that was with Max Johnson as his starting quarterback. In other words, there’s all sorts of potential for Boutte to be the next great LSU receiver.
