The Jacksonville Jaguars have nearly wrapped up their top-30 visits, bringing in No. 23 on Tuesday in Virginia wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Wicks is the second wide receiver the Jaguars have brought in for a top-30 visit following TCU wide receiver Quention Johnston. 

The Jaguars are returning four of their top five receivers from a year ago in Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, Jamal Agnew, and Tim Jones. The Jaguars are also adding former first-round pick Calvin Ridley to the offense after trading for him at last year's deadline. In addition, the Jaguars are also returning tight end Evan Engram, making the Jaguars' pass-catching corps fairly crowded. 

Wicks, 6-foot-1, 206 pounds, was a three-star recruit and the No. 88 wide receiver in the 2019 class. He appeared in 10 games as a true freshman, catching three passes for 61 yards with one touchdown pass.

Wicks missed the entire 2020 season due to a Lisfranc injury in his right foot, but returned in 2021 to start 11 games and lead the team in receiving with 57 catches for 1,203 yards (21.1 yards per catch) and nine touchdowns, earning First Team All-ACC honors. 

Missing two games in 2022 because of a bone bruise, Wicks started eight games and caught 30 passes for 430 yards (14.3 yards per catch) and two touchdowns.

Wicks finished his college career with 30 games played and 19 starters, catching 90 passes for 1,694 yards (18.8 yards per catch) and 12 touchdown catches.
