Five Under the Radar Eastern Pennsylvania Wide Receivers

As we continue to look at under the radar prospects on the eastern side of the Keystone State, we move onto the wide receiver position. <strong>Justin Kormos - Pope John Paul II</strong> Coming off an impressive junior season where he had 44 receptions for 990-yards and 12 touchdowns, Justin Kormos out of Pope John Paul II is our first name up today. When it comes to Kormos on the field, the rising senior shows good ball tracking skills and a quality catch radius, being able to bring in passes no matter the direction in which he needs to turn his body. He has some solid speed and shows some quality explosiveness which really shows when he’s in the open field and has the ability to pull away from opposing defenders. His route running overall is pretty good but does need some refinement. Overall, Kormos is a good prospect who projects well at the Division II and Division III levels. <strong>Jahmir Dixon - Radnor High School</strong> Dixon as a junior posted solid numbers for the Radnor Raiders, bringing in 43 receptions for 925-yards and 13 touchdowns. Dixon has good height for a slot receiver at 5-foot-11 and weighs 158-pounds, while he is on the bit of the smaller size in terms of weight, he should be able to add on some more weight once he gets onto a college campus. Overall, there’s a lot to like about Dixon as a receiver, as he’s a pretty electric on tape. He shows really good hands and can make some tough catches while remaining in stride. He also shows good athleticism on top of above-average to plus speed which helps project him to a slot receiver at the next level. He projects currently as a Division II prospect but could gain maybe some FCS interest with a strong senior season. <strong>Will Silverman - Central Bucks East</strong> Last season, Silverman had 48 receptions for 869-yards and eight touchdowns. At 6-foot-1 and 185-pounds, Silverman is a nice sized wide receiver who shows a lot of potential on tape. He posts a good 40-yard dash time, at 4.5 and that speed does show on his tape. His route running is pretty good as well which makes him even more dangerous when combined his speed. Overall, he’s an exciting wide receiver who is explosive when he has the ball in his hands. At the least he projects to a top Division II prospect but could very well end up being an FCS prospect by the time he signs with a school. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="27536" first="D’Shaun" last="Seals"] - Imhotep Charter</strong> Seals can be best described as a dynamic playmaker, on tape, it’s hard to understand why he isn’t getting more love than he already is at this point in his recruitment. The rising senior had over 40 receptions last season for 700+ yards while contributing an additional 900-yards in the return game. Seals has everything you look for in a playmaking wide receiver; speed, vision, elusiveness. He’s also versatile as he also shows to be a very high quality return man who could be a threat to take any kickoff or punt to the house. While he is on the smaller side at around 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9 and about 160-pounds, Seals doesn’t seem to shy away from contact and is willing to go through defenders rather than going around them. Overall, there’s a lot to love about Seals and his playmaking ability. The only thing that may truly hold him back is his size. He’s someone who could be a really dangerous D-II wide receiver but could possibly play at the FCS level if someone is willing to give him a chance with his size. <strong>Julian Williams - Downington West </strong> <span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">There’s not a ton of tape out there for Williams but of what he does have, Williams shows quality speed and has a knack for getting open, often giving his quarterback an opportunity to complete a pass. He’s on the smaller side at 5-foot-8 and 165-pounds which like Seals is probably holding back from being a higher touted prospect. While there isn’t much tape as mentioned, his numbers speak for themselves as he posted 41 receptions for 838-yards (20.4 avg) for eight touchdowns. He’s also fantastic on special teams as he piled up 801 return yards to go along with four total returns for touchdowns including three kick returns. Williams should end up being a D-II player at the next level.</span>
