Which Wide Receiver Prospects Dominated the Most Games in 2017?
7. Korey Robertson, Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles
Korey Robertson, coming from the other SMU, also dominated 5 of 13 games, for a 38.5% domination rate, same as with Sutton.
But the Southern Mississippi prospect came through against two of his three opponents inside the top 65 in pass defense S&P+.
Robertson's toughest pass defense opponent (Florida State, 27th) yielded a modest game of 4 catches, 36 yards, and a touchdown (27.9% of his team's receiving).
But against the Tennessee Volunteers' 30th-ranked pass defense, Robertson accounted for 75.8% of SMU's receiving yardage, thanks to an 8-catch, 122-yard game. Against Marshall's 39th-ranked pass defense, Robertson went for 7 catches, 118 yards, and 1 touchdown (69.4% of the Golden Eagles' receiving).
Both of those huge games came on the road against tough pass defenses. And he did that on the 114th-ranked passing offense by S&P+.
Robertson (6'2", 210 pounds) also topped a 40% market share against Rice (48.0% of receiving yards), Louisiana Tech (42.2%), and Charlotte (41.2%). All three ranked 97th or worse in pass defense.
