Top SEC Wide Receivers And Running Backs Of 2015

Let's take a look at the top running backs and wide receivers of this SEC season:


Running Backs:


1. Derrick Henry

Derrick Henry had a great season last year, with 990 rushing yards on 172 attempts, despite splitting time with TJ Yeldon. Coming in at 6'3", 242 pounds, Henry is a force to bring down, and should have a big season. He will be sharing snaps with the versatile Kenyan Drake, and the Tide should have a solid backfield this season.

2. Nick Chubb

Nick Chubb was dominant last season for Georgia, with 1,547 yards and 14 touchdowns. However, the majority of those yards and touchdowns were accomplished in the latter part of the season due to the injury and suspension of Todd Gurley II.

3. Leonard Fournette

Fournette was basically the offense last season for LSU. With a struggling quarterback and not yet developed wide receivers, the Tigers struggled for offensive production. This season, those players should have more experience, and give Fournette some help. He had 1,034 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2014.

4. Jalen Hurd

Hurd at Tennessee comes in much higher on my list than some others' lists, just because I think he has a lot more potential than people are giving him credit for. This is a talented back, on a solid team, that will make an immediate impact as a sophomore. He had 899 yards as a true freshman, and I believe that he will have a huge impact.

5. Jonathan Williams

Williams had over 1,000 yards in 2014, and looks to be one of the best running backs since the Darren McFadden days. He has proven he can play, and is anticipating a big senior season.



Wide Receivers:


1. Laquon Treadwell

Treadwell comes in as the lead receiver for Ole Miss this year, and after last year’s season-ending injury against Auburn, I fully expect him to be the top wide receiver in the SEC. There is a lot of talent in the SEC among wide receivers, but I think Treadwell has the biggest impact on his team.

2. Pharoh Cooper

Cooper at South Carolina is one of Steve Spurrier’s most talented wide receivers since he has been in Columbia. Entering his junior season, he had 1,136 yards and nine touchdowns last season.

3. Robert Foster

Foster at Alabama is underrated among the other SEC receivers, but he has the tools and coaching to be as good as Amari Cooper. Almost as fast, and three inches taller, look for him and freshman Calvin Ridley to make a splash.

4. De’Runnya Wilson

One of the most explosive wide receivers people have ever seen, Wilson is going to have a huge year at Mississippi State. He’s not high on many people’s lists, but I think the ex-basketball player could have a big year.

5. Travin Dural

Dural decided to return for his senior season, and is a huge playmaker for LSU. He didn’t get the best opportunity to make plays last year just because of the team's poor QB play. Hopefully this year he can get some more one-on-one situations and prove why I think he’s one of the best in the SEC.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
