WR ELIJAH MOORE

Florida State will have to do its best to replicate with what Johnny Wilson and Keon Coleman did for the Seminoles last season as both big-bodied playmakers are off to the NFL.

Fans understand that Alabama's Malik Benson will more than likely be the number-one wide receiver in the offense. However, who will emerge as the second option? That race seems to be wide open as the coaching staff knows that it has a lot of talent but not much experience to show for it.

The expectation is that sophomore wide receiver Hykeem Williams could take the next step, but he dealt with injuries during his freshman campaign. Will the coaching staff side with him or will they entertain the idea of a new face on the outside?

One under-the-radar player at the position that I am monitoring is true freshman wide receiver Elijah Moore, who enrolled with the Seminoles this summer. I know that it is hard to expect a freshman to start right away but the opportunities are wide open. Moore's 6'4" frame has been impressive through three days of fall camp and could be enough to make an impact in meaningful games this season.
