Kansas Football Wide Receivers

Lawrence Arnold remains Jalon Daniels’ favorite deep ball target, while Luke Grimm is his safety blanket. Those roles are set in stone — they will be the top two receivers on the team for the rest of the season.

Quentin Skinner usually plays on the outside opposite of Arnold. His elite speed makes him a big-time threat for opposing defenses. Not far behind is Trevor Wilson, who often alternates with Skinner. Watch his unreal snag against Illinois by clicking here.

Slot receiver Kevin Terry stepped away from the program during the offseason, so Doug Emilien is the backup to Grimm. He played a considerable amount of snaps last year and had a touchdown this past Friday until it was called back for penalty.
