Southern University: Hungry Jaguars

Receivers ready to step into starting roles

Southern wide receivers coach Eric Dooley describes his group as hungry. They ought to be. “The next guy has to step up. They’re feeding off the opportunity to play,” Dooley said. The Jaguars have 12 wide receivers in preseason camp, and only two of them caught balls last season.

Del Roberts, 5-9/190, Wide Receiver/Punt Returner, Tallahassee, FL/UNC.

Those two are senior Del Roberts (42 catches, 474 yards, two touchdowns) and junior Juamorris Stewart (23 catches, 237 yards, one TD).
