No. 4: Jovon Durante

WVU’s speedy receiver Jovon Durante has had an up and down sophomore campaign, but head coach Dana Holgorsen has tried getting the ball in his hands every way imaginable – including jet sweeps, screens, and even handoffs.

He’s only had five catches combined in the past two games, but when he does get touches – they come in bunches. Against BYU and Kansas State, Durante hauled in six and seven catches, respectively. If Holgorsen can get Durante on the edge in space, expect that to open up big alleys for home-run plays later in the game.
