An Open Competition at Wideout

Virginia Tech lost three senior receivers following the 2012 season.  This year, it’s imperative that Logan Thomas find multiple receivers that he trusts, and those receivers must also improve their blocking downfield in the running game.  New wide receivers coach Aaron Moorehead has talent to work with, but at this point it is undeveloped talent.

I’m going to break down Tech’s players by scholarship and non-scholarship players, because I do think the Hokies have a couple of walk-ons who could potentially factor in this year.

The Scholarship Players

Virginia Tech has nine wide receivers on scholarship, though if I were a betting man I’d bet that we see some turnover at that position before the start of the season.  This is simply my own order of Tech’s wide receivers, based on what I’ve seen, experience levels, and gut feel.  I don’t know what that opening depth chart is going to look like.  Aaron Moorehead has never coached these guys before, so everyone will have an equal chance to impress him.
