FSU football: Which positions need most focus after 2022 spring camp?
By Kelvin Hunt
Wide Receivers
This unit was not a strength for the Noles in 2021. They were the worst unit in the entire conference. Amazingly, they scored the points they did with Jordan Travis missing multiple games and poor receiver play.
Running back Jashaun Corbin led the team with 25 receptions, and no receiver had over 24. It was a combination of a lack of talent and injuries impacting the position in the past few years. However, former blue-chip receiver Malik McClain showed some promise as a freshman.
He flashed a bit in spring camp, but I’m not sure he was consistent enough to become a dude yet. It’s why the coaches attacked the transfer portal to add four players.
Unfortunately, Winston Wright Jr. got in a car wreck, and Deuce Spann is extremely raw. That leaves Mycah Pittman and Johnny Wilson, former blue-chip recruits and high school teammates. Pittman established himself as someone who’ll be a contributor in 2022.
Wilson was inconsistent but has big play ability. Overall, there’s much more talent at the position. The challenge is finding the right combination that will be the most productive in the passing game.
