College Football: Each Power Five conference’s top 3 receivers for 2020
3. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. WR. Tyler Vaugns. Senior. 808
USC’s Tyler Vaughns has been reliable as any wide receiver in the Pac-12 the last three seasons. He has totaled 2,395 receiving yards in his first three college seasons with 17 touchdown grabs and a punt return touchdown.
In 2019 he made a career-high 74 catches for 912 yards and six touchdowns to earn All-Pac-12 third-team honors.
Vaughns has been consistently steady for the Trojans and entering his senior year is among the top wide receivers in the conference and could be on the way to his first 1,000-yard season.
Senior. Johnny Johnson III. 2. player. 820. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. WR
Oregon‘s Johnny Johnson III is on pace for a monster 2020 season. The 6-foot-0 wide out had a breakout 2019 season as he led the Ducks in receptions (57), receiving yards (836) and receiving touchdowns (seven).
Johnson’s best performance came against Arizona State when he hauled in 10 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns. It was one of two games he caught at least two touchdown passes.
With a breakout junior year, Johnson’s shown improvement each season, which will likely lead to a big senior campaign proving why he’s among the best in the conference.
Scouting Report. Junior. 808. Pick Analysis. WR. Amon-Ra St. Brown. 1. player
There’s no better receiver returning to the Pac-12 in 2020 than USC’s Amon-Ra St. Brown. In his first two college seasons St. Brown has had 137 catches for 1,792 yards and nine touchdowns.
Last season he made 77 catches for 1,042 yards and six touchdowns while also adding a rushing touchdown. St. Brown posted four 100-yard receiving games and earned All-Pac-12 second-team honors.
In 2020, he will again form the Pac-12’s top receiving duo with Tyler Vaughns as the Trojans look to get back to the Pac-12 title game.
