Mississippi State wide receiver Anthony Evans tops the SEC in several receiving categories as of Week 8. He averages 102.3 receiving yards per game, with 47 total receptions and five touchdowns this season. Evans has emerged as a key target for the Bulldogs, especially with quarterback Kamario Taylor's status in question for the upcoming game against Oklahoma. His 7.83 receptions per game also lead the conference. Evans was previously a four-star recruit at Georgia, where he showed potential but has significantly increased his production at Mississippi State, outpacing Georgia's leading receiver, Craig Dandridge.
