LSU FOOTBALL SPRING PREVIEW | Who will emerge as Jayden Daniels number two target behind Malik Nabers?
Summary: LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers had a breakout year in 2022 leading LSU in receiving yards, and for those of you who watched LSU throttle the Purdue Boilermakers in the Citrus Bowl, he also led receivers in touchdown passes thrown. That stat is completely irrelevant to this conversation, but a fun tid bit nonetheless. Assuming Malik Nabers will be Jayden Daniels' favorite target for the second year in a row, who will we see in spring practice that emerges as the go-to guy behind Nabers? LSU returns Kyren Lace, Brian Thomas, and Chris Hilton from the 2022 season. Brian Thomas led that group in receiving yards, but could Lacy breakout after having a year of getting acclimated at LSU after a two year stint with ULL? Or will some of the younger receivers emerge as the biggest threat in the passing game? Two five star recruits, local Catholic High grad Shelton Sampson and Jalen Brown from Miami, are coming in the 2023 class. Will they come into LSU hungry to prove that they are ready for the next level? Or will the second most threatening receiver on the team not even be a WR after all? Mason Taylor was the third leading receiver on LSU's squad in 2022 behind Nabers and Kayshon Boutte. He developed week over week and became a certified threat and trusted receiver. Knowing what we know about Taylor's development and the steps he could take in year two combined with Brian Kelly and Mike Denbrock's affinity for tight ends, will Mason Taylor continue to be one of Daniels' top targets in his sophomore year?
