  Draft Scout by Conference









  Kent State's Dante Cephas is a proven big-play receiver. Last year the Kent State football team opened preseason camp with no proven leader at the wide receiver position, following the early departure of deep threat Isaiah McKoy. Dante Cephas was one of several wideouts considered a prime contender to help fill the big-play shoes of McKoy heading into the 2021 season, after catching 15 passes in seven games during his first two years with the Golden Flashes. Now, heading into the hotly anticipated 2022 campaign, Cephas is the unquestioned leader of defending Mid-American Conference East Division champion Kent State's talented receiving corp.

Cephas became the first KSU player to surpass 1,000 yards receiving since 1997 last fall, when he earned First Team All-MAC honors by catching 82 passes for 1,240 yards and nine touchdowns in 14 contests. Those lofty numbers are nearly identical to the ones McKoy produced while earning All-MAC recognition in 2019 and 2020 - 81 catches for 1,327 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games. Obviously, Cephas played close attention to McKoy during his first two years with the Flashes. "Since I got here, McKoy had been showing me the way," said Cephas, a redshirt junior, who represented Kent State along with grad student defensive end Zayin West at MAC Media Day festivities on July 26 in Cleveland. "When he left I took over where he left off. I just went out there, had fun, balled out, and toward the end of the season the stats speak for themselves." - Akron Beacon Journal
