South Carolina Football: Top 5 Wide Receivers on Gamecocks’ Schedule

Ausbon was quarterback Kellen Mond’s favorite target last season, recording 66 catches for 872 yards. He was the SEC’s sixth-leading receiver, and enters his senior year with more to prove.
The Houston native tallied at least 45 receiving yards in all but two games, and broke the century mark on two separate occasions. He’s not much of a burner at 218 pounds, and his longest catch of the year was only 41 yards, but he’s got the size to move defenders around and make a contested catch.
His two best games of the season came against Georgia and Auburn, catching eight and nine passes, respectively. He’ll hope to get to paydirt a little more often in ’20, as he only hauled in five touchdowns in an Aggie offense that utilizes a power run game down near the endzone.
With teammate Quartney Davis now off to the NFL, Ausbon should have even more opportunities as the clear-cut No. 1 option.
