4. Beaux Collins, junior
Part of the issue with the Clemson offense is the lack of talent at wide receiver, but Collins is plenty talented to put up bigger numbers than he is. Garrett Riley’s offense is built on a lot of underneath passes, so Collins went from averaging 17.0 yards per reception in 2022 to 13.4 this season.
Collins was impressive as a freshman in 2021 with 407 yards and three touchdowns, but he’s never taken that next step in this offense to become a dominant force on the outside.
At 6-foot-3, the size is there for Collins, but he might be feel like Clemson’s 49th ranked offense is holding him back.
