Junior Micah Simon is currently the “alpha dog” according to Fesi Sitake, and Akile Davis has been one of the pleasant surprises of camp.

Re: 2018 WR Preview
I've been disappointed with our receivers so long that these lists just depress me. I read them and think - "he's our number one or two option? We're in for a long year"

Re: 2018 WR Preview
We have the Collie transfer and a couple of freshmen coming in that should help. Romney was a 4 star or close to 4.

Re: 2018 WR Preview
I just want to see some fight out of our receivers. After the past couple years, I would trade speed and skill for a guy that will just fight tooth-and-nail everytime the ball is in the air.

Re: 2018 WR Preview
This! Reminds me of Eric Drage. He wasn't big or fast, but he was going to get that ball no matter what it took. Those are the kinds of receivers that made the quarterback factory possible. Possibly because we couldn't get any other kind, but they sure got the job done.
If the yewts take the field and there are no BYU fans to pour beer on, will anybody come?

Re: 2018 WR Preview
More recently, that's guys like Nate Miekle, Austin Collie and Dan Coates and Dennis Pitta who made John Beck and Max Hall look good. JD Falslev had some of that--not tall, fast or big, but his routes were good enough and his fight was tenacious.
While we're dreaming of, I also wouldn't mind a Fullback that could catch out of the back field like Manase Tonga.

Re: 2018 WR Preview
This, we haven't had any toughness at receiver since Austin Collie. the 2015 guys had a lot of fight but not enough(they made a freshman QB look good though). Give tough slow precise route running receivers any day over the "pillows and feathers" that we've had for years.
