Terry Pettis

A big former wideout, Pettis (6-5, 24), Pettis might post distinctly wide receiver-like numbers in 2016, as Middle Tennessee's explosive, uptempo offense has to replace one of its top pass catchers. Ed'Marques Batties is gone after catching 82 passes for 1,048 yards and 13 touchdowns last year, meaning there's room for Pettis to greatly improve his already formidable 2015 box score of 29 receptions for 612 yards and four touchdowns. Since workhorse wideout Richie James is only 5-foot-9, the hulking Pettis could emerge as Middle Tennessee's leader in touchdown receptions.
