Emerging Wide Receivers 2022

Some of the best skilled players in the 2022 class line up as wide or slot receivers. They have the talent to make the big play at any moment with their ball skills and ability to make the, always vital, yards after the reception. Here are a few of those type of valuable athletes in the class of 2022. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="118869" first="Anthony" last="Cirino"]     5’10” 175     Wadsworth</strong> Cirino is a special athlete due to his speed and elusiveness. He can line up as an inside or outside receiver and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball. He can haul in the deep ball but is most dangerous catching quick screens and slants then jetting past defenders in the openfield. Cirino is one of the best and most productive kickoff return specialist in the state. <strong>Blaze Exline     6’0” 170     Salem</strong> Like Cirino, Exline is a versatile receiver with both speed and quickness. He normally plays the slot receiver in twins formation and is utilized as a runner on the jet sweep or the inside receiver in combination routes. Exline runs outstanding wheel and smash routes. He is tough to bring down once he has the ball in his possession and racks up a ton of yards after the catch. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="126563" first="Connor" last="Pratt"]     6’2” 175     Van Wert</strong> Pratt is a long striding possession receiver with sure hands. Even though he is superb at running curl and comeback routes, he hauls in his share of vertical routes. Pratt is a physical receiver who will go up and out fight the defensive back for the football. He is a smart receiver who understands where the windows are in zone coverage schemes. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="139424" first="DeAngelo" last="Borders"]    5’10” 180     Berea Midpark</strong> DeAngelo is a complete receiver in terms of precision route running and the ability to turn a basic reception into a touchdown with his quickness and athleticism. As an inside receiver, he shows courage and toughness running crossing patterns and deep middle routes. He also runs the bubble screen effectively by reading his blockers after the catch and turning it upfield for plus yards. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="159697" first="Devin" last="Garnes"]     5’10” 175     Beavercreek</strong> Aligning most of the time in a tight double slot formation, Garnes can release to the flat freely but is used primarily as a runner. He is excellent at running the jet sweep, toss sweep, counter, and is the pitch man on the option. His height is an advantage with all the motion and misdirection, often getting lost in the action. His quick cuts and ability to accelerate north and south makes him hard to defend.
