Most Underrated WRs in Charlotte (2021)

In order for an offense to find success, wide receivers must be able to create separation and make defenders miss in the open field. There are players that have the skill to do both of these, but are not getting much attention from Division 1 schools. I have identified athletes that can be playmakers at any college level and make their quarterbacks look good. Here are the most underrated WRs in the Charlotte area: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28622" first="Kenan" last="Silas"], WR, 6’4 and 195 lbs, Independence HS</strong> Silas is a good-sized wide receiver that uses his frame to be a factor in the red zone. He is always working back to the QB when the play breaks down and also makes the sideline catch look easy. Kenan has strong hands that he displays on contested catches against opposing defensive backs. He is a smooth route runner with crisp footwork and possesses a wide catch radius. Currently has a few offers, but still looking for a D-1 offer. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28601" first="Kaleb" last="Washington"], WR, 6’2 and 195 lbs, Mallard Creek HS</strong> Washington is a speedy wide receiver that can take the short screen for a touchdown or blaze by defenders for a long reception. He excels at running the comeback route and is so good at gaining yards after the catch by making defenders miss and breaking tackles. Kaleb consistently finds the open spaces in zone coverage and uses his great hands to adjust to errant passes. I love how he finishes every play with power and can be relied on as a run blocker when needed. Has announced his commitment to Lenoir-Rhyne. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28591" first="Damonte" last="Furman"], WR, 5’8 and 170 lbs, Mallard Creek HS</strong> Furman is a tough/physical wide receiver that takes massive hits and gets right back up almost immediately. He uses his speed to outrun opponents with the ball in his hands and should be seen as a deep threat on any play. This slot WR is most dangerous on slants over the middle and out-breaking routes. Damonte is excellent at adjusting to underthrown passes and makes receptions with his arms fully extended. Also an underrated run blocker. He has a few offers, but still looking for D-1 interest. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28590" first="Kambridge" last="Tuttle"], WR, 5’11 and 180 lbs, Weddington HS</strong> Tuttle is a versatile wide receiver that has the talent to contort his body to any throw, but also the skill to track the ball deep. He has big play ability because he can beat his defender down the field and showcases elite acceleration. Tuttle is so good at selling his routes and then totally changing direction to get open for the TD. This WR makes catches falling to the ground and also can be used as a QB. No offers to this point.
