Top Receiver Duos
Most high-powered offenses have a talented receiver on their roster. The best offenses have two. In this new series, we’re taking a look at the top duos in the state, starting with the receiver position.

Metcalf and Jeffcoat lead a loaded receiver group at Mallard Creek, a school that actually has four receivers in our top 200. The two are excellent complements to each other with Metcalf the speedy deep threat and Jeffcoat -- at 6’3, 210 -- the tall possession receiver. Both are excellent after the catch and should be one of the top duos in the state.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28477" first="Jakolbe" last="Baldwin"] and [player_tooltip player_id="28481" first="Dalton" last="Stroman"], Richmond Senior</strong>
Baldwin (An NC State commit) and Stroman (Uncommitted) form one of the most feared receiver duos in the state. Both players have excellent ball skills and route-running abilities, making Richmond one of the best passing attacks in the state (It doesn’t hurt that they have one of the state’s top quarterbacks as well). Now seniors, the pair will look to lead the Raiders to a state championship in 2020.
<strong>Carson Hawks and Tanner Woods, North Surry</strong>
Hawks and Woods put up massive numbers last year in North Surry’s air raid offense, combining for nearly 200 receiving yards a game. Both have similar skillsets tailor-made for such an offense, namely big-play ability after the catch. It will be interesting to see if Hawks, who was the backup quarterback to a senior last season, continues to play out wide or moves behind center permanently. Either way, expect another big year from the Greyhound offense.
