Levern Jacobs

When the dust settled at the end of the offseason, Maryland’s receiving corps was unrecognizable from 2014’s unit. Stefon Diggs and Deon Long will be playing on Sundays this fall and Juwann Winfree, Jacquille Veii, and Marcus Leak are no longer with the program. Enter Jacobs, who sat out all of last season due to suspension. As a sophomore in 2013, Jacobs reeled in 47 grabs for 640 yards--both good enough for best on the team. He’ll return to the field this year as arguably Maryland’s top receiving option and he’ll likely be catching passes from Oklahoma State transfer Daxx Garman. There will be some learning curve for Garman as he learns the system, but he should be a step above C.J Brown as a passer, which bodes well for Jacobs. Toss in the fact that Maryland’s run game is going to be in the bottom quarter of the FBS and will be facing tough run defenses on a weekly basis and Jacobs suddenly becomes an appealing option in the later rounds of your draft.
