With training camp underway, we take a look at one of two areas on the offensive side of the ball that are question marks going into the season.
Here is how they looked coming out of the spring (combined with TE):

Players Incoming
Justin Fritts 6-2 195 Lbs Charlotte, NC (Vance HS)
Zac Parker 5-10 175 Lbs Reston, VA (South Lakes HS) (Academically Ineligible for 2013)
Isaac Brown 6-3 177 Lbs Kearney, NE (Kearney HS)
Dakota Kelly 5-11 170 Lbs Lynchburg, VA (Liberty Christian Academy)
Malaki Roy 5-10 185 Lbs Sandy Spring, MD (Sherwood HS)
If the fourth name on that list of incoming players gives you a sense of deja vu, its probably because his older brother just finished his career at Liberty last year. Patrick Kelly finished his career as just the fifth player in school history with 2000 or more receiving yards (behind former teammate Chris Summers the all time leader, Pat Nelson, Courtney Freeman and Kelvin Edwards)
With the returners, the big concern is that the leader (Jaquan Glover) had only 7 catches in 2012. The team already starts camp down one receiver according to Liberty beat writer Chris Lang at the Lynchburg News and Advance as Ryan McCarter is in a cast and probably lost until the Coastal game at the earliest, if he comes back at all this year. Glover, Darrin "Petey" Peterson, converted QB Gabe Henderson and Dante Shells are your top 4 coming out of spring ball. With McCarter out, Faison and Greg Pratt are the early leaders for the backup spot at the other two WR spots, but if DK, Brown, Kelly or Roy is able to seriously impress the coaches, it could be a very wide open race for the remaining spots on the two deep in the coming weeks.
