Anthony Ratliff-Williams will finish Top 3 in the ACC in receiving

The UNC football team is lucky to have a player like Anthony Ratliff-Williams and after a good season in 2017, he should breakout this year.

The junior finished last year leading the team in receptions (35), receiving yards (651) and receiving touchdowns (6). He finished the year very strong with five receptions in each of the final three games, with over 75 yards and one touchdown.

One of the reasons he will likely improve on his numbers from last year, aside from having another year of experience, is that the starting quarterback in those final three games was Nathan Elliott. The same player who is slated to start this year.

These two players have an excellent connection and is one that should be on display all season, which leads us to the final bold prediction.
