Who steps up at wide receiver in 2024?

North Dakota State's 2024 offensive gameplans took a hit last week when standout receiver Eli Green entered the transfer portal.   Green emerged as a downfield threat over the final six games of 2023, making several acrobatic catches and scoring three touchdowns, two of them in the playoffs.   With Green's departure, that leaves NDSU without its top two receivers from a year ago after Zach Mathis graduated.   Sixth-year senior Braylon Henderson and fifth-year senior Raja Nelson return for the Bison. Nelson emerged as both a deep threat and a running back over the final few games of 2023, while Henderson had his best year as a Bison. Between the two of them, they have a combined 119 receptions.   After that, though, it's a big dropoff in the wide receiver room. Senior Tyler Terhark has the most receptions with four, with Chris Harris, Mehki Collins and Bryce Lance each with just one catch. Collins and Lance earned rave reviews during the spring and each had solid performances during the Green and Gold Showcase.   Redshirt sophomore Carson Hegerle had his spring football end early with a broken ankle and his return is up in the air for fall camp. Cedric Wall has grabbed the coaches attention during practice, but has yet to see the field yet.   NDSU has an incoming freshman in Omaha native Jackson Williams, but there are questions entering the 2024 season.   WDAY's Dom Izzo and The Forum's Mike McFeely discuss the wide receivers and what's ahead for this year.
