WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Winston-Salem State lost top receivers Jameze Massey, Jahuann Butler and Jamal Williams to spent eligibility after last season, and one of the coaching staff’s biggest challenges of the preseason has been finding the right replacements. The three combined for 198 of the team’s 276 catches and 3,300 yards and 39 touchdowns during the run to the Division II championship game.
"We have some guys over there, but they haven’t quite caught on yet," Coach Connell Maynor said this week. "It’s a work in progress, and we’ve got a couple of guys with hamstring and ankle injuries, so that’s slowing us down a little bit."
Senior Tehvyn Brantley (28 catches, 4 touchdowns) will be expected to carry much of the load, but as a 5-8, 178-pound slot receiver, he’ll need help from others who can stretch the field.
