Some of you may already know Isaiah McKenzie for his exceptional abilities as a return man. He averages over 12 yards per punt return and has four punt return touchdowns, along with one kickoff return touchdown. But I believe this is the year that McKenzie becomes a weapon on offense, as well as special teams.

McKenzie is listed as a wide receiver, but for his career he has only caught 16 passes for 190 yards. I expect those numbers will be a lot higher at the end of this season. The Dawgs need playmakers out wide after the departure of Malcolm Mitchell. With his incredible speed and agility McKenzie has the potential to be an absolute nightmare in the slot. There isn’t a linebacker or safety alive who could possibly cover him. I expect McKenzie to see a lot of balls thrown his way this season, and once he catches them good luck trying to tackle him.
