2022 Wide Receivers To Watch Out For In Week 1

We are inching closer and closer to kickoff of the high school football regular season in Indiana. Today, we continue our Week 1 preview, with a look at the senior wide receivers who will need to have big performances this week. We will discuss three prospects who are looking to begin the season on the right foot. All three will present a huge challenge for their opponents. The three student-athletes under the microscope today will face tough tests this week, but all three are certainly capable of passing the test with flying colors. [player_tooltip player_id="39048" first="Omar" last="Cooper"], 6’1, 185 pounds, Lawrence North, Senior Lawrence North will need a big game from [player_tooltip player_id="39048" first="Omar" last="Cooper"] when they hit the field against Avon this Friday. Cooper will be a tough matchup for the Avon secondary as he is tremendous in the air. Cooper can high-point the ball and win a 50-50 throw. He is not bothered by the presence of the defender when pursuing the ball. Cooper does a great job of fighting through contact to come up with the catch. Cooper gets great separation from the defender that is attempting to cover him. After the play, [player_tooltip player_id="39048" first="Omar" last="Cooper"] excels, frequently taking it to the house. [player_tooltip player_id="39058" first="Amarion" last="Moore"], 6’3, 180 pounds, Concord, Senior [player_tooltip player_id="39058" first="Amarion" last="Moore"] will line up against a tough Elkhart defense this week. Concord will look to take advantage of Moore’s speed, something that will be difficult for any defensive back to contend with this year. His pace and top-tier route-running ability make him an elite vertical threat. But while Moore can stretch the field, he does well running underneath. Moore is a constant big play threat. [player_tooltip player_id="39058" first="Amarion" last="Moore"] can put the opposing defense under constant pressure. [player_tooltip player_id="98058" first="Nate" last="Anderson"], 6’0, 180 pounds, Homestead, Senior [player_tooltip player_id="98058" first="Nate" last="Anderson"] enters this season as the fifth-ranked wide receiver in the Class of 2022. Anderson has committed to play collegiately at Western Michigan. Anderson has the route-running prowess that will be difficult to defend both in high school and college. Anderson has blistering speed, allowing him to ghost right past the defender. He is the consistent vertical threat that any offensive coordinator would covet. Anderson is fantastic after the catch. After the reception is completed, he turns up field, looking to turn a good play into a great play. Anderson adjusts well to the football, fighting to make the catch. [player_tooltip player_id="98058" first="Nate" last="Anderson"] is a prospect who can excite the entire team.
