INSIDE RECEIVER UPDATE:
The inside receivers who have been running with the ones are Lorenzo Joe and Jacorey Warrick. And if that doesn’t get your blood pumping, it’s understandable, because there is a LOT of work to do at inside receiver.
This group is far from a polished product.
We’ve seen Jacorey Warrick have good springs in the past, only to get passed up by guys like Daje Johnson and Armanti Foreman.
But Collin Johnson and John Burt can’t take every snap at outside receiver – not in this high-rep offense.
Joe and Warrick have been the most consistent, so far.
DeAndre McNeal, Ryan Newsome and … wait for it … Jake Oliver – have also been working at inside receiver, pushing Joe and Warrick.
Oliver has great hands. But his problem has always been his lack of speed. So he’s working hard on his footwork to get separation with the way he runs his routes (think Jaxon Shipley). There’s been progress.
It’s no sure thing that Oliver will work into the rotation, but he catches everything. One source said Oliver may have the best hands on the team.
Huge learning curve for McNeal, still, as a route runner and pass catcher, but he’s getting better.
Newsome is small and is a bit of a liability as a blocker, and there’s a lot of blocking required of the inside receivers, especially on the bubble screens. But Newsome has great feet, and once he gets the ball in space, he’s elusive.
Davion Curtis projects as an outside receiver, and Reggie Hemphill-Mapps currently projects as an inside receiver.
And while those two have lots of promise, there is going to be a steep learning curve for them once they hit campus this summer.
This receiver group appears to have two players who are special: John Burt and Collin Johnson.
I’m hearing that Armanti Foreman is working at outside receiver.
Armanti Foreman has got to become more consistent in everything – work ethic, details, focus, etc. When he’s dialed in, he’s electric. When he’s not, he’s almost not even worth putting on the field. It’s a huge year for Armanti Foreman, and I’m told he knows it and has been responding.
