Continue ReadingThe state of Arkansas is becoming well known for producing quality wide receivers that play on Saturdays. The 2022 recruiting class is one of the most talented that the state of Arkansas has seen in some time. We are going to take a look at five wide receivers that have the potential to have big seasons in 2021.
Kahlil Mobley Kahlil Mobley 6'4" | 165 lbs | WR Shiloh Christian | 2022 State AR -Shiloh Christian
Mobley is one of those wide receivers that has flown under the radar up to this point. Mobley is effective in the slot or at the outside receiver position. He uses his athletic ability well and he does a terrific job of going up and high pointing the football. Mobley has the speed to separate from opposing defensive backs and his route running is consistent. He is a player to keep an eye on as the season approaches. He has a knack for making the big play and scouts will appreciate the explosive plays he can generate.
Cooper Smith Cooper Smith 6'0" | 165 lbs | WR Bentonville | 2022 State AR -Bentonville
Smith has excellent speed, and he is uses it well to create separation when he is running his routes. The Bentonville coaching staff does a great job of lining Smith up all over the field. Smith can play the slot or the outside wide receiver spot to equal effectiveness. Smith can be a nightmare for the opposing defense when he takes the ball on jet sweeps. He is especially dangerous in the open field after catching the pass. What really sticks out about Smith’s game is that he is an unselfish and willing blocker for his teammate. Smith is a player that has the potential to have a huge season for the Tigers in 2021.
Jalen Blackburn Jalen Blackburn 6'2" | 190 lbs | WR Fayetteville | 2022 State AR -Fayetteville
The 7-A West is one of the most difficult conferences in the state of Arkansas in terms of talent at the wide receiver position. Blackburn does a great job of using his athletic ability to create separation from the opposing defensive back. With the opposing defense going to rotate coverages toward his teammate Isaiah Sategna Isaiah Sategna 5'11" | 170 lbs | WR Fayetteville | 2022 State AR , Blackburn will have some opportunities to put up some big numbers this season. Fayetteville is like Bentonville in the respect that they have weapons all over the field. Blackburn has the potential to have a big year and really impress scouts in the process.
Jackson Morse Jackson Morse 6'4" | 185 lbs | WR Central Arkansas Christian | 2022 State AR -Central Arkansas Christian
Jackson Morse Jackson Morse 6'4" | 185 lbs | WR Central Arkansas Christian | 2022 State AR is a fantastic red zone target. As Nolan Pace did an excellent job of pointing out in his article WR/TEs in Arkansas Looking to impress their Senior Year! Morse is a big red zone target for Central Arkansas Christian this season. Morse is solid when it comes to running his routes and creating separation from the opposing defensive back. Morse uses his 6-3 frame well when it comes to blocking and creating a lane for his teammates. Fans and scouts both should look for Morse to have a big season and terrorize opposing defenses in the process.
Logan Stephens Logan Stephens 6'1" | 165 lbs | WR Beebe | 2022 State AR -Beebe
Last season, Stephens earned all-conference honors and gave Beebe an explosive receiving corps in the process. At 6-1, Stephens does an excellent job in going up and snagging the football, all the while keeping it away from the opposing defensive back. Stephens can line up in the slot or at the outside wide receiver spot and excel at both positions. He is impressive when it comes to hauling in contested receptions. Stephens is a player that I expect to have an extremely productive season for the Badgers this season.
