(4) WR Armanti Foreman

Armanti Foreman, the twin brother of 2017 Draft Pick D’Onta Foreman, should shine this season on offense.

It looks like Collin Johnson has emerged as the go-to receiver for QB Shane Buechele, but Foreman should be a dependable #2 WR.

Armanti was a highly sought high school recruit, but D’Onta broke out during their first three years together at Texas. With D’Onta in the NFL, it’s time for Armanti to start making his name and impress NFL scouts looking for WR depth.

Two other senior WR candidates are Dorian Leonard and Lorenzo Joe. Leonard has the size advantage at 6’5″ and 210 lbs., but he hasn’t had that “breakout moment” for Texas yet.

Part of the problem for Texas WRs was the committee-like approach last season. The wideouts blended in when the objective was to find the open man – any open man. This year, players like Foreman, Leonard, and Joe will have the opportunity to break out during their senior year running a new offense.
