Previous Breakdowns: Defensive Line • Linebackers • Defensive Backs • Special Teams • Offensive Line

BALTIMORE, MD - In the sixth of a seven-part series breaking down the 2014 Johns Hopkins football team, HopkinsSports.com takes a look at the Blue Jay wide receivers and tight ends. While newcomers to the program may make an impact this season, the breakdown includes only returning players.

Who's Back: Two key returnees at wide receiver are back for the Blue Jays in junior Ryan Finkel and sophomore Bradley Munday, who finished second and third on the team in receptions, respectively, last season. Finkel, one of just three returning starters on offense, totaled 37 receptions for 301 yards and one touchdown a year ago, while Munday burst on the scene and had 36 receptions for 338 yards and one score.

Big Shoes to Fill: One of the many holes the Blue Jays have to fill is at wide receiver, where they'll need to replace all-time leading wide receiver Dan Wodicka, who is now a member of the JHU coaching staff. Wodicka finished his career as JHU's all-time leader in receptions (260) and earned All-Centennial honors in each of the last three years. Also gone are wide receivers Jared Beekman (27 receptions), Bob D'Orazio (23) and Jon Monteiro (18) and tight end Brendan Hartman (12).

Keep an Eye on - WR: Sophomore Quinn Donaldson had seven receptions for 89 yards a year ago and would likely have earned more playing time if not for a roster that consisted of four senior wide receivers. He had a good spring and training camp and has emerged as one of the top threats on the team. Junior Evan Adamo was poised for a breakout season a year ago before a season-ending injury ended his year before halftime of the first game. He's had a full year to recover and is poised to pick up where he left off before the injury. Sophomore Boone Lewis, Jr. (6-3/200) brings has the size and skills to develop into a target different than the other top receivers on the team.

Keep and Eye on - TE: Junior Michael O'Connell played in 10 games and got one start last season and is the heir apparent at tight end. O'Connell has good size and could emerge as a threat over the middle.
