2025 Football Season Preview - Wide Receivers

8/18/2025 12:33:00 PM

A key component to William & Mary's success offensively this season will be production at the wide receiver position, and offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Winston October is confident this year's unit is poised for an outstanding 2025 campaign. In addition to first-team All-CAA punt returner Carson Jenkins, the unit is headlined by a pair of former transfers who were limited last season with the Tribe – Damian Harris (Bucknell) and Isaiah Lemmond (VMI) – but were tremendously productive with their former programs and are expected to thrive this fall. Additionally, the group features a mix of talented returners and newcomers who possess the ability to make a significant impact.
