Sorry for the delay, with 6 straight nights in electronics, I didn't get a chance to go over the fullback position, so I will merge that with tight end for next week, but now we move on to the guys who will need to be the speed burners in 2015
Players Lost
Jaquan Glover 6 Catches 89 Yards 1 TD
Gabe Henderson 56 Catches 651 Yards 4 TD
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)
Justin Fritts No 2014 Stats
Theo Mayo No 2014 Stats
Malaki Roy No 2014 Stats
Tyus White No 2014 Stats
Petey Peterson leads the way for this bunch, coming off a record setting season and another first team all conference laurel. The telling note though, is that of the returning group at wideout, better than half the group did not make a catch in 2014, and with Petey and SHells, who had injuries to deal with for part of the year last year, leading the way, at least two of them will have to step up to take some of the load off those two as teams will no doubt be game planning heavily for them in 2015.
An interesting sidelight to this is the case of Stephon Masha, last year's backup QB. He has the kind of speed that would be very useful in the slot with the departure of Henderson, and it is something that haas beenn bandied about a bit on the board. I would not be surprised with that move, but it does put a lot of the onus on players like former LCA standout Dakota Kelly at that position.
A couple of guys to keep an eye on heading into spring ball will be BJ Farrow and Justin Fritts. Farrow, also an LCA standout, sat out the 2014 season while getting his academic house in order, and Fritts was the most improved offensive player coming out of spring ball, but did not see a catch or target last fall. Both likely will factor into the rotation at WR in the spring as well as the fall.
