1. WR J.J. Jones, North Carolina

As a sophomore in 2022, Jones averaged more than 18 yards per catch and began to show why he was such a coveted prospect in the 2021 class. A 6'4" long strider, he's going to more than likely end up as Drake Maye's top target this fall, taking over for Josh Downs.

2. WR Jaelen Gill, Boston College

Zay Flowers took up all of the oxygen in the room in Chestnut Hill, and rightfully so. But Gill has some solid traits in his own right and should put up some much bigger numbers as the new WR1.

3. RB Justice Ellison, Wake Forest

With Sam Hartman and AT Perry now gone, the Demon Deacons' offense is going to go throw a lot of growing pains. The one constant will be Ellison, who will be leaned on now more than ever to help make Dave Clawson's offense tick.
