Continue ReadingThere are so many high school players who dream of continuing their football careers at the collegiate level. The recruiting process for each potential prospect is a journey that is unique for each player. Some manage to get the big-name offers early, while others find themselves waiting for their first offer during their final season.
The recruiting process is still ongoing for the five senior wide receivers listed below. Each one of these players possesses phenomenal skills and abilities that are worthy of the college interest they are receiving and then some.
It is time to highlight five top-tier senior wide receivers who still have yet to commit to a college program.
Josh Dunn Josh Dunn WR Broomfield | 2022 State CO | Broomfield | 6’4”, 190lbs
Dunn is a big target who is a threat to defensive secondaries on all levels of the passing game. His long strides help him to create separations from defenders and his ability to use his frame and athleticism to catch passes at their highest point makes him a phenomenal deep threat.
Dunn is a sure-handed possession receiver who is the state’s second-leading player in receiving yards with a total of 912 yards heading into week eight. He has been getting college looks from Nebraska, CSU Pueblo, Western Colorado, Emporia State, and Valparaiso to name a few.

Jack Moll Jack Moll 6'2" | 195 lbs | WR Longmont | 2022 State CO | Longmont | 6’3”, 195lbs
Moll steps into the eighth week as the state’s third-leading receiver in yards with a total of 836 on the season. He has elite acceleration with great top-end speed, enabling him to create space and outrun defenders. His top-tier ball-tracking skills and strong hands make him a serious deep threat, especially when adding his ability to go up and make high-point catches.
Moll has earned his way onto college radars, garnering interest from Colorado State, Colorado School of Mines, CSU Pueblo, Minot State, Columbia, and Princeton.
2021 Weeks 1-6 Highlights

– 830 all purpose yards
– 3rd in the state in receiving yards@warriorqbcoach https://t.co/beNjU0ncfS— Jack Moll (@JackMoll16) October 8, 2021
Jack Horsford | ThunderRidge | 6’1”, 185lbs
Horsford is another exceptionally talented player who has good acceleration and overall speed. He is a reliable possession receiver who immediately turns upfield for yards after the catch.
Horsford is a physical receiver who is hard to bring down, making him a prime candidate for an addition to a strong wide receiver core. He has made impressive appearances at multiple Division I camps, adding to his stock value and making him a prime prospect.
Jack Pierce Jack Pierce 5'8" | WR Cherokee Trail | 2022 State CO | Cherokee Trail | 5’8”, 170lbs
Pierce is an extremely speedy and elusive player who is near impossible to catch in space. His 4.46 40-yard dash time can easily be seen as soon as the play starts, making him a must-watch player whenever the ball is in his hands. He is a shifty player who can slip behind coverages and be a big-time deep threat.
Pierce is a playmaker who has been getting attention from colleges like Missouri Western and Northwest Missouri State.

Evan Johnson Evan Johnson 6'0" | 160 lbs | WR Grandview | 2022 State CO | Grandview | 5’11”, 165lbs
Johnson is arguably the fastest athlete just about every time he steps onto the gridiron. He is a track star who runs a 4.38 40-yard dash, which is well above breakaway speed. His releases are explosive, his routes are shifty, and his hands are extremely reliable. He has great vision as a ball carrier which he uses to exploit creases within the defense. Johnson has gotten some interest from colleges, but he is still a sleeper of a recruit with premier potential.
