Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Tavarres King is a fifth year senior and currently the active SEC leader in receptions (100) and receiving yards (1,769).
His performance against the Buffalo Bulls, six catches for 117 yards, made the first time in his career that he had over 100 yards receiving in back-to-back games going back to last season. Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo believes that King can become an elite player in college football:
We need him to be an elite receiver. We talked about it a lot in the preseason about his consistency and we need him to pick up where he played at the end of last year and be very productive for us this whole season.
King thinks that he can be elite as well, but he has to be more consistent with his overall play:
I need to be more consistent in everything that I do. That's huge with me if you can't tell being consistent: route-running, blocking. I feel like I just need to be a complete receiver, a total package, not just a deep threat. I need to be able to go underneath. I feel like I can do that.
King has an opportunity to show his abilities in Saturday's game against the Missouri Tigers. The game is scheduled to kick off at 7:45 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN2.
