2. WR Justyn Ross

Sticking with wide receiver, it’s Justyn Ross’s ‘money year.’

With Tee Higgins gone, it’s going to be Ross that is the next ‘featured guy’ at the position for the Tigers. Ross is big and has both the physicality and athleticism to be one of the top wide receivers in the nation.

During the 2019 season, though, it seemed like he disappeared from the offensive attack all-too-often.

Ross will likely be the top-targeted wide receiver this season and his success will spell the success for the Clemson football offense.
