3: Keelan Doss, WR (Sr.) — UC Davis
Doss was arguably the most dominant player in the FCS last season. A Top 3 finalist for the Walter Payton Award, the 6-foot-3 wide receiver led all of Division I with 1,499 receiving yards, 136.3 receiving yards per game and 10.5 receptions per game. He totaled 115 catches and seven touchdowns.
That's an absurd amount of production in just 11 games.
Doss was so good that there was some uncertainty on whether he'd declare early for the 2018 NFL Draft or return for his senior year. It was such a huge deal that Doss and UC Davis made a video announcing he'll be back.

With his quarterback Jake Maier back, Doss is set for an absolutely explosive 2018 season. The HERO Sports preseason First Team All-American hopes his decision to return for his senior year leads UC Davis to the playoffs and by the end of the season, improves his NFL Draft stock. He's currently ranked the 21st best wide receiver prospect for the 2019 draft.
