Top 5 2022 Wide Receivers in New Mexico

The junior class in the state of New Mexico (2022 graduates) is filled with some talented wide receivers, some of whom should go on and play at the next level. They’ll play this spring and then finish their prep careers in the fall. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="26256" first="Adam" last="Aguilera"], Lovington</strong>: Along with teammate [player_tooltip player_id="26233" first="Isaac" last="Hinson"] (see below), Aguilera is one-half of the formidable WR duo in Class 4A, if not the entire state. Aguilera gets the nod for the No. 1 spot team because he averaged almost 20 yards per reception in 2019 (36 receptions for 716 yards). <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="26252" first="Chance" last="Carrillo"], Farmington</strong>: The top returning wide receiver in the Four Corners. Carrillo is a major cog in a Scorpions offense led by older brother QB [player_tooltip player_id="26172" first="Caleb" last="Carrillo"], who threw for nearly 3,000 yards in 2019. Chance caught 51 passes for 810 yards and 10 TDs as a sophomore. Look for big things out of him in the spring and next fall. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="26233" first="Isaac" last="Hinson"], Lovington</strong>: Hinson (37 receptions for 521 yards in 2019), along with Aguilera, will put plenty of downfield pressure on opposing secondaries when football finally resumes. Both receivers are a major reason Lovington should be a contender for the Class 4A crown both in the spring and next fall. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="26270" first="James" last="Jenkins"], Hope Christian</strong>: Jenkins emerged as one of the top young receivers in the Albuquerque Metro area in 2019 when he caught 28 passes for 555 yards and 8 touchdowns as a sophomore on a senior-dominated team. <strong>Matthew Quartieri, Raton</strong>: Quartieri is a major reason Raton possesses some of the best young offensive talent in Northern New Mexico. Quartieri (team high 35 receptions in 2019) catches passes from QB brother [player_tooltip player_id="26234" first="Dylan" last="Quartieri"] with rising sophomore RB Cayden Walton handling the ground game. The Tigers are going to score a lot of points whenever we get back to playing games. <strong>Honorable Mention</strong>: [player_tooltip player_id="26249" first="Tim" last="Drennan"] (West Mesa); Adadrian Jackson (Socorro); Israel Ortega (Tularosa);  [player_tooltip player_id="26246" first="Daymari" last="Cox"] (Rio Rancho); [player_tooltip player_id="26258" first="Kieran" last="Gonzales"] (Volcano Vista); [player_tooltip player_id="26263" first="Mark" last="McIntosh"] (Albuquerque Academy). https://twitter.com/_NMAA/status/1359624101808066560
