It's Nate McCollum's Time to Shine at Wide Receiver

Posted Jun 23, 2023
Nate McCollum caught 60 passes for 655 yards and three touchdowns last season on a Georgia Tech team whose coach was fired at mid-season and had three different starting quarterbacks. Now McCollum has Drake Maye, a top Heisman Trophy contender and potential top pick in next year’s NFL Draft, tossing the football his way. It’s a significant step up. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
