Southern developing receiver depth to complement Lee Doss

HOUSTON, Texas  -- The Southern receiving corps is perhaps best known for the work of Lee Doss.

It’s easy to understand why Doss is the face of the group. He’s a senior.

He’s an All-Southwestern Athletic Conference selection. In two games earlier this season, he scored five touchdowns.

And defenses have rightfully shifted their attention to the playmaking wideout.

Yet the Jaguars are about more than just Doss. They have having a plethora of young, upcoming talent in the cupboard.



Newcomers Willie Quinn and Randall Menard and sophomores Justin Morgan, Nico Talbert and Mike Jones have benefited from the attention Doss has drawn this season, providing big plays on the perimeter Southern.

“We have a great group of kids that just want to come out and compete,” wide receivers coach Chris Coleman said. “Those guys have come in and taken their God-given abilities and maximized it through film study and through repetitions on the practice field, and buying into what the coaches are teaching.”

Quinn’s effect was apparent early this season, when he managed to haul in touchdown passes in of the first three game.
