We move on to the wideouts this week:

Players Lost
Jaquan Glover 6 Catches 89 Yards 1 TD
Gabe Henderson 56 Catches 651 Yards 4 TD
Justin Fritts No 2014 Stats (Left team)

Players Returning
Darrin "Petey" Peterson 85 Catches (School Record) 1379 Yards (School Record) 12 TD (2014 Big South All Conference First Team)
Dante Shells 25 Catches 560 Yards 3 TD
Dakota Kelly 4 Catches 41 Yards
Zac Parker 3 Catches 16 Yards
Ryan McCarter 1 Catch 3 Yards
Isaac Brown No 2014 Stats
Kyle Carrington No 2014 Stats
BJ Farrow No 2014 Stats (Sat out 2014 Fall Semester)
Theo Mayo No 2014 Stats
Malaki Roy No 2014 Stats
Tyus White No 2014 Stats
Marquis Fitzgerald (2015 Spring addition)

This is probably the deepest of the skill positions for 2015, led by first team all-conference selection Peterson, who will look to build on a record breaking 2014. Parker, who introduced Flames fans to his speed on a 65 yard jet sweep TD last year, worked his way into the starting receiver rotation thanks to am impressive spring and gives the offense another threat to take the top off the defense, opening up the middle of the field. One of the players to watch though will be Farrow, a 2014 grad of Liberty Christian Academy like the brothers Pat and Dakota Kelly and others who came before him.

Another one to keep an eye on is McCarter, who was injured in 2013 and only caught one ball last season, but thanks to an outstanding spring, worked his way into the backup spot behind "Petey".

This will be an interesting group to watch heading into training camp. but we could see some very gawdy numbers from this group if last month was any indication.

In the LFN preview, they had Parker getting some looks at the slot as well. If he can be a gamebreaker for us regardless of his position on the field, that will open up the middle for the other receivers plus the tight ends and we could be a team that nobody will want to face in the playoffs.
