The Football Recruiting Process for Wide Receivers and their Size
One of the more interesting pieces of the position by position football recruiting PDF was that I broke down the size that college coaches are looking for at different positions (This e-book is still for sale at only $5.00 so click here for more information). This got me thinking about all the different sizes of players in all classes at different positions.
I decided to take a look at the top five teams in Division I-A (aka BCS), Division I-AA (aka FCS), Division II, and Division III as they were ranked in polls last week. I looked up each school, their top wide receiver, and how big they are. The sizes of these athletes really varied from Division to Division.
Outside of the freak of natures in Julio Jones and Michael Crabtree, the size of the BCS receivers are not all that much bigger than all other Divisions. The biggest receiver on the list was all 6-foot-6 of Ramses Barden. He plays for Cal Poly and they compete for the FCS title.
