No. 1 Shelton Gibson

Projected yards: 1,130

Projected receptions: 57

Average per catch: 20.5

Shelton Gibson is a true deep ball threat and his skills are progressing each time he steps on the field. A track star in high school, Gibson has the perfect breakaway speed and can get open faster than any other wide out in the conference.

Last season, Gibson led the team with 887 receiving yards on 37 receptions. That’s an average of 24 yards per catch.

Next: No. 2 Ka'Raun White
