Last season, the Georgia native gave defensive coordinator’s nightmares as he torched several secondaries throughout the year while leading the country in yards per reception (26.6). Ezzard finished his junior year racking up 1,064 receiving yards on 40 catches with 12 TDs and set a new school record for receiving yards in a game (223) at Ohio.
