No I don’t think it would be “way way above average”. The SEC produces so many drafted WR (and many of the legit super stars) so it seems like the hit rate is crazy high but it’s not really.
Mingo, Mims, Tillman, Hyatt, Burks, Metchie, Velus Jones, Toney, Elijah Moore, Terrace Marshall, Schwartz, Bowden, Edwards, Jefferson, WanDale Robinson… there’s been plenty of bad recent SEC guys who went in the top 100 picks or so. Even a guy like Jeudy isn’t really a “hit” (maybe not bust either)
Obviously, a bunch of superstars as well.
The SEC generally produces a lot of great players because it produces a ton of players period. And yeah I think on average, SEC guys pan out at a higher rate because better recruits go to better programs (etc) but I don’t think it’s anywhere near the degree to which you’re suggesting.
You could say the same for almost any position group TBH.
Ohio State definitely seems like WR university though. Hartline clearly has the best eye for WR talent in the country and I don’t think it’s close. Whatever he is doing to recruit those guys is working.
