Here’s how UM has allocated snaps in a crowded receiver room: Xavier Restrepo (173 snaps), Colbie Young (169), Jacolby George (157), Isaiah Horton (68), Ray Ray Joseph (46), Brashard Smith (45), Tyler Harrell (41), Frank Ladson (23), Michael Redding III (12), Robby Washington (7) and Shemar Kirk none.
PFF rates Restrepo third and George eighth among every FBS receiver this season.
At tight end, with Elijah Arroyo still sidelined by last September’s knee injury, former Oregon eight-year tight end Cam McCormick has played 155 snaps. The mild surprise is that freshman Riley Williams (104 snaps) has played far more than second-year player Jaleel Skinner (25). It’s notable that PFF rates Riley Williams and McCormick as UM’s best run blockers, in that order.
In fact, PFF rates Williams and McCormick the 12th and 13th best run blocking tight ends in the country.
For the record, I would like to mark this as an article for CIS in the future. The responses have been very positive and I would like to make this a regular thing.
