Ian Strong

Strong was limited in spring practice after undergoing an undisclosed surgery in the offseason, but he appears to be 100 percent in camp and ready for Week 1. Strong was a massive offensive weapon for the Scarlet Knights last season and was the top receiver for the squad. Strong struggled with some injuries in 2024 but managed to appear in 12 of 13 games, compiling 43 catches for 673 yards and five touchdowns for the year. To maximize his potential, Strong will need more progression from Athan Kaliakmanis, who had a solid campaign but struggled in the Rate Bowl against Kansas State. All of Strong's touchdowns in 2024 came while the team was in the red zone, and he'll likely repeat as the team's best option in scoring position this year as well. Read Past Outlooks
