College Football: Each Power Five conference’s top 3 receivers for 2020
WR. 3. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Junior. Tutu Atwell. 849
Louisville‘s Tutu Atwell quietly had a monster season for a Cardinals team that improved more than any power-five program in the nation.
As a sophomore in 2019, Atwell led the ACC with 1,272 receiving yards while hauling in 11 touchdown catches. He was named first-team All-ACC and a Pro Football Focus first-team All-American. In Louisville’s Music City Bowl victory over Mississippi State, he hauled in nine passes for 147 yards as the Cards avenged a 2017 Gator Bowl loss the Bulldogs.
Atwell doesn’t have much size at 5-foot-9 but he makes up for it with blazing speed making him one of the ACC’s elite receivers
player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 2. 804. WR. Redshirt Junior. Tamorrion Terry
The 6-foot-4 Tamorrion Terry from Florida State has quietly become one of the ACC’s top wide receivers.
As a redshirt freshman in 2018, Terry had 35 catches for 744 yards and eight touchdowns. He followed that up with a 60-catch, 1,118-yard and nine-touchdown season in 2019, which put him second in the league in receiving yards. He was named second-team All-ACC and solidified himself as an elite pass-catcher.
Heading into 2020, he’s among the ACC’s feared wide receivers and could improve even further with offensive Mike Norvell taking over the Florida State program.
879. Justyn Ross. player. WR. Junior. 1. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
Despite a small dip in production as a sophomore in 2019, there’s no better wide receiver in the ACC than Clemson‘s Justyn Ross.
The 6-foot-4 receiver had a performance for the ages as a freshman in the 2018 National Championship game against Alabama as he made six catches for 153 yards and a 74-yard touchdown. He also made a one-handed catch that many consider one of the best plays in program history.
This capped off a 1,000-yard, nine-touchdown freshman season for Ross. He followed that up by making 66 catches for 865 yards as a sophomore in 2019. In the 2019 National Championship, he led Clemson with 76 receiving yards.
With Tee Higgins gone, Ross will now be Trevor Lawrence‘s top target, which should result in more production and further evidence that he is the top receiver in the ACC.
