BEAUMONT - The numbers show that Lamar University's receiving game should be in good hands during the 2011 football season.
Those numbers reveal that the Cardinal wide receivers accounted for 76.0 percent of the team's 217 receptions and 89.6 percent of their 2,738 receiving yards. Further good news is that all of the Cardinals' starting wideouts from the 2010 season and their backups are returnees to the squad that is earnestly working toward their Sept. 3 season opener against Texas College.
Split end J.J. Hayes' 745 receiving yards last season were the fifth most in school history, and flanker Marucs Jackson's 727 yards were the seventh-highest figure. Hayes' 52 catches were the sixth most in school history, and Jackson's 41 grabs rank 12th.
