1. Anthony Johnson, Buffalo
He could potentially be a top 3 receiver in the 2019 NFL Draft. He caught 76 passes for 1356 yards last season and scored 14 times, while averaging 17.84 yards per catch. He is a beast who was smart to return to school for his senior season rather than compete in a crowded 2018 draft market.
2. Diontae Johnson, Toledo
Another gem from the MAC, Johnson was a star for QB Logan Woodside last season. He caught 74 passes for 1248 yards and 13 scores, while averaging over 17 yards per catch. He should be one of the best in the nation once again.
3. Penny Hart, Georgia State
Hart is a beast in his own right, and has not had top flight QBs to play with. He still managed 74 receptions for 1121 yards and 8 scores, while averaging over 15 yards per catch for the Panthers last season. He is a star.
4. Trevon Brown, East Carolina
The Pirates may be playing their worst overall football in decades, but Brown is a star hidden in the muck. He caught 60 passes last season for 1069 yards and averaged 17.82 yards per catch while scoring 7 times.
5. Andy Isabella, U Mass
Isabella has Andrew Ford at QB, and he benefits highly. He caught 65 passes for 1020 yards last fall and caught an outstanding 10 TD passes, all while averaging 15.69 yards per catch. HE should be a national breakout candidate this fall.
6. Ty Lee, Middle Tennessee
With injuries to both QB Brent Stockstill and WR Richie James last season, Lee stepped up big as a sophomore, catching 79 passes on the season. As the lead man in 2018, he should have a massive breakout performance.
7. Justin Hall, Ball State
He caught 79 passes as a freshman, mostly in the short to intermediate range, but still, that catch count is outstanding for such a young player on a bad team. He is just getting started.
8. KeeSean Johnson, Fresno State
Johnson is a big time receiver who got his shot at a breakout performance last season with a finally stabilized QB situation, and he stepped up and did his thing. Fresno State should be a top 25 candidate this season, and Johnson should be a huge part of that.
9. Teddy Veal, Louisiana Tech
Veal caught 74 passes last season, but came up just short of 1000 yards. With another year of stability at QB, look for Veal to have a huge year in 2018.
10. Tyre Brady, Marshall
Caught 64 passes from Chase Litton last season, and scored 8 times, and averaged over 15 yards per catch. Marshall will push FAU for the CUSA East title this fall, and Brady will be at the heart of that effort.
