The 2021 WR class for North Carolina is stacked with potential Division 1 playmakers all over the state. However, there are prospects that are flying under the radar and being unnoticed by recruiters and coaches. Every wide receiver in this article has strengths that can translate to the college level and make them weapons for any offense. Here are the most overlooked WR’s from North Carolina: [player_tooltip player_id="28616" first="Cade" last="Mintz"], WR, 5’11 and 205 lbs, Christ School Mintz is a yards-after-catch WR that always makes the first defender miss in the open field. He is a reliable player that excels the most at running slants and short out-breaking routes. Cade also is a yards-after-catch machine because he uses his excellent toughness to break tackles, along with his quick cut ability. This slot WR can make catches falling to the ground and possesses very good acceleration on the field. Has 3 offers that include UNCC. [player_tooltip player_id="28605" first="Will" last="Lohr"], WR, 6’0 and 170 lbs, Wakefield HS Lohr is a versatile WR that uses his crisp footwork to create separation at the stem and top of routes. He’s extremely dangerous in space and uses his underrated speed to create big chunk plays. Will is great at making the contested reception and has elite concentration at the catch point. This athlete can line up anywhere and showcases great hands, especially around the sideline. Doesn’t have any known offers so far. [player_tooltip player_id="28554" first="Bryson" last="Canty"], WR, 6’0 and 175 lbs, Reagan HS Canty is an intelligent WR that has a great understanding of opposing defenses and fights for every yard available. He definitely has big play ability because of his rare quickness and effective stiff arm/swipe that leaves defenders on the ground. Bryson has very good body control that allows him to make toe tap catches and receptions in traffic. This elusive WR doesn’t go down easily and gets the most out of every play. Already has committed to play at Columbia. [player_tooltip player_id="28602" first="AJ" last="Collins"], WR, 5’9 and 160 lbs, Rocky River HS Collins is a smooth route runner that uses his speed to beat cornerbacks on deep post routes. He is also successful at intermediate routes over the middle and adjusting to poorly thrown passes. AJ picks up YAC by utilizing a nasty spin move that makes defenders whiff on an attempted tackle. This shifty player has the potential to be a difference maker for any offense. Currently has 2 offers to this point.
