Akile Davis, RS Sophomore Wide Receiver

With Nick Kurtz and Mitchell Juergens gone and Moroni Laulu-Pututau moving to tight end, there are plenty of spots open at wide receiver.

Davis spent spring ball last season playing some wide receiver and some cornerback, but it seems like his services won’t be needed in the secondary.

He’s a fast receiver with a good frame (6-foot-2, 195-pounds) and it looks like he can really make plays. Mangum will need a receiver to step up and be a go-to guy, and Davis might be able to fill that role. Or at the very least emerge as a credible deep threat.
