New Jersey Class of 2022 Wide Receivers: Stock Risers

Prep Redzone looks at the Class of 2022 wide receivers in New Jersey whose stock has risen so far this season. These players have done enough so far to get our attention. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="207552" first="Andrew" last="Vargas"] | Ridgefield | 5-10 | 185</strong> Vargas has been a solid two-way performer for Ridgefield during his first four games of the season. Vargas has caught 18 passes for 350 yards (19.4 ypc) and five touchdowns during the timeframe. He’s also accounted for 32 total tackles this season for his team. His highlights show that he's a playmaker that can score from anywhere on the football field due to his speed. You can see him catching deep passes for big gains, running with the football, and returning kicks. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11200689/61465b16d21b5e08149582f2">3-game Hudl Highlights</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="207553" first="Avery" last="Cohen"] | Shawnee | 6-0</strong> Cohen has caught 20 passes for 334 yards (16.7 ypc) and two touchdowns in his first four games this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="207546" first="Darius" last="Thompson"] | Plainfield | 6-3 | 185</strong> Thompson has caught 15 passes for 365 yards (24.3 ypc) and four touchdowns in four games this season. Thompson had a breakout performance in a 40-37 win over Watching Hills Regional this past weekend. He caught 9 passes for 250 yards and three touchdowns in that game. While we don’t expect that type of performance ever week, it’s still enough to put Thompson on our radar. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="207545" first="Dylan" last="Hutchinson"] | Pascack Valley | 6-2 | 185</strong> Hutchinson has caught 22 passes for 388 yards (17.6 ypc) and five touchdowns in his first four games this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="27993" first="JoJo" last="Bermudez"] | Cedar Creek | 5-10 | 160</strong> Current Ranking: State - 18 , Position - 3 He’s already rated as the No. 3 wide receiver in the state but may see upward movement in the state rankings during the next update. He has caught 28 passes for 660 yards and six touchdowns during the first five games of the season. That’s 23.6 yards per catch for the former Rutgers commit. You would be hard-pressed to find a more electrifying player in the state of New Jersey right now. Whether it's catching passes, running the football, or returning kicks, Bermudez is a "must-see" player. Bermudez has that second-gear and is a threat to score from anywhere on the football field. His value as a returner and a wide receiver has increased during the first-half of this season. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11396149/6145f3c55ca9b308680d04cb">Mid-season Hudl Highlights from his first four games</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="160789" first="Nick" last="Dunneman"] | Seton Hall Prep</strong> Dunneman has caught 20 passes for 354 yards and five touchdowns during his first five games this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="207533" first="Tyreek" last="Rollins"] | Ewing | 5-10 | 170</strong> Current Ranking: N/A Rollins has caught 16 passes for 424 yards and eight touchdowns in four games this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="191030" first="Zach" last="Thomas"] | Morris Catholic | 5-8 </strong> Thomas has caught 24 passes for 387 yards (16.1 ypc) and five touchdowns in his first four games this season. He's a slot receiver that has made the most out of the opportunities that he's been given.
