*The sixth installment in a series highlighting position groups on the 2023 Morehead State football team. Next up, the wide receivers and tight ends.
Morehead State has an abundance of pass catchers heading into 2023 looking to make plays and put points on the board.
Ryan Watts is in his first season as the wide receivers coach at Morehead State, and is excited about the athletes in his position group as the Eagles inch closer to kicking off the season.
"I'm excited about the group coming into the fall," said Watts. "We have a bunch of selfless guys who compliment each other well. As a team, we plan on having a wide receiver by committee approach and they have bought into that. They are a joy to coach every day."
