1. TEXAS A&M
The Aggies are reloading at wide receiver in this transfer class and, on paper, their quartet of signees is the best in the nation. Former NC State star KC Concepcion was a four-star high school signee and more than lived up to the hype during his time in Raleigh. Mario Craver's career got off to a good start at Mississippi State.
The real wild card is Micah Hudson. Formerly of Texas Tech, Hudson was a five-star high school prospect but barely saw much action last season with the Red Raiders. He is currently not with the Texas A&M program for undisclosed reasons but his addition would be big for a receiver room that will also include transfer Jonah Wilson from Houston along with high school signees Jerome Myles and Kelshaun Johnson.
2. NEBRASKA
Matt Rhule and staff are bringing in a massive group of receivers for star quarterback Dylan Raiola. After signing Rivals250 high school receivers Cortez Mills and Isaiah Moze, Nebraska also landed top-30 transfer prospects Dane Key and Nyziah Hunter along with four-star Hardley Gilmore IV.
Key is a big target with sure hands and has an established track record of production during his time at Kentucky. Gilmore, who has three years of eligibility remaining, just finished up his freshman season at Kentucky. Hunter also just finished his freshman season at Cal, in which he showed a lot of promise with 40 catches for 578 yards and five touchdowns.
3. GEORGIA
Georgia's receiving corps is getting a shot in the arm with two elite transfer receivers. Former USC standout Zachariah Branch, one of two five-star receiver transfers in this cycle, is going to suit up for the Bulldogs next season as he looks to make more of a consistent impact on the field.
He'll be joined by former Texas A&M receiver Noah Thomas, a top-20 transfer prospect this cycle. Thomas racked up 39 catches for 574 yards and eight touchdowns in a limited passing offense last season.
4. LSU
LSU is restocking its receiver room with three high-potential prospects in Barion Brown, Nic Anderson and Destyn Hill. Brown and Anderson will bring elite speed to the table.
At Kentucky, Brown set a Wildcat record with 29.3 yards per kickoff return. A quad injury kept Anderson from suiting up for Oklahoma last season but the previous year he set a Sooners freshman record with 38 catches for 798 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Hill also has a history with injuries and only managed 87 receiving yards during his time at Florida State. As a high school prospect, Hill was known for his speed and big-play ability.
5. OLE MISS
Head coach Lane Kiffin and company are taking a large group of transfer receivers this cycle and it's led by four-stars De'Zhaun Stribling, Caleb Odom and Harrison Wallace III.
Stribling is coming off a year in which he posted 52 catches for 882 yards and six touchdowns at Oklahoma State, bringing him to 161 catches, 2,152 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns in his career.
Odom still has a very bright future. He was a highly touted high school prospect but only managed seven catches for 65 yards as a freshman this past season.
Wallace was Penn State's leading receiver after Tyler Warren this past season. Over four years with the Nittany Lions he had 84 catches, 1,221 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
Three-star transfer prospects Deuce Alexander from Wake Forest and Traylon Ray from West Virginia will also join the Ole Miss receiving corps next season.
