Greg Dortch

If Hartman has a big game against the Green Wave, expect this wide receiver to be the one player the quarterback targets a lot.

Greg Dortch is the best wide receiver in this offense, and he will try to make a case that he is the best in the ACC. The redshirt sophomore had a breakout year last season with 53 receptions, 722 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.

He was really starting to dominate with 100+ receiving yards in three of his final four games before he suffered a freak injury against the Hurricanes where he punctured his small intestines that cost him the final five games of the season.

Now that he is fully recovered from that injury, along with a hand injury over the summer, he should pick up right where he left off. There is no reason to think that Dortch couldn’t eclipse100 receiving yards in the first game of the season.
