It will take a lot of talent—and a lot of teamwork—to fill the All-American cleats of Morris, but the receiving corps plans to shoulder the load together.

“There’s not much pressure because the offense is spread out amongst three or four wide receivers instead of just one,” Edwards said. “So the pressure is diluted.”

Wide Receivers & Tight Ends

Contributors Lost WR Carl Morris ’03, WR Kyle Cremarosa (injury)

Contributors Returning WR Rodney Byrnes, WR Brian Edwards, TE Matt Fratto, WR James Harvey, TE Adam Jenkins

Important Newcomers WR Corey Mazza, WR Danny Brown

Player to Watch Fratto. With a lack of experience in the receiving corps, the two-year senior starter should take on a larger pass-catching role than last season, when he only had 11 receptions and one TD. Murphy says he is “definitely a guy we can count on in the passing game.”

Newcomer to Watch Mazza. He was the biggest name in the Class of 2007, and should show why immediately. His teammates rave about his uncanny grasp of Harvard’s complicated offense, and his size and ability should allow him to showcase it.

Number of Note 0. That’s the number of returnees that averaged more than 50 ypg receiving last season. Byrnes, who split time between WR and RB, was closest with 48.2 ypg.
