Class of 2021 Rankings: Top Five Wide Receivers

High school football players are extremely talented and the top players on each team can normally play both sides of the ball. For these receivers, their talent is usually doubling as a defensive back. The top five should be recruited as pass catchers. <strong>1. [player_tooltip player_id="27864" first="Carnell" last="Davis"] | St. Augustine Prep</strong> Davis will be staying home and playing his college ball at Rutgers. This is a huge get for the Scarlet Knights as they land the top receiver in New Jersey. He grabbed six touchdowns as a junior including a monster seven catch, 178 yard, three touchdown performance against Ocean City. At 6’3, Davis is an incredible athlete and knows how to go get the ball at it’s highest point. <strong>2. [player_tooltip player_id="27884" first="Jayson" last="Raines"] | West Orange</strong> Raines has upwards of 20 offers but he has mutual interest in schools like Rutgers, Vanderbilt, Princeton, and Yale. He is a player that gets it done in the classroom and on the field. Raines finished with 40 catches as a junior and 11 went for touchdowns. He is a big play receiver with breakaway speed that will make him successful at the next level. <strong>3. [player_tooltip player_id="27905" first="Nasir" last="Buntin"] | Mater Dei</strong> Buntin was part of an elite receiving group for Mater Dei in 2019. He will serve as the No. 1 receiver in 2020. The Kent State commit fits in perfectly with what Mater Dei likes to do offensively. They are a run first team that feeds off play action to throw the ball down the field. The 6’2 senior will have a big year that could end with double-digit touchdowns. <strong>4. [player_tooltip player_id="27916" first="Nate" last="Summerville"] | Shawnee</strong> Summerville is a monster on the field. At 6’5, he is a matchup nightmare on the outside. He has strong hands and knows how to make a play on the ball. Summerville is being looked at by schools like Bryant, Long Island, and William &amp; Mary. Whoever lands the receiver will be getting a player who is ready to make an immediate impact. <strong>5. [player_tooltip player_id="27924" first="Isaiah" last="Vallderruten"] | Roselle</strong> Vallderruten is not the biggest player on the field but he is hard to keep up with. He finished with 54 catches for 901 yards and 11 touchdowns as a junior. Those numbers could go up during his final season. Vallderruten can run deep routes or go over the middle and make big plays. He has the type of speed where he can catch a slant and take it 80 yards to the house. He will be a player to watch during the 2020 season.
