No. 12 Javion Aquino Javion Aquino 5'8" | 145 lbs | WR North Arlington | 2022 NJ | 5-8 | 145 | North Arlington
Aquino has caught 20 passes for 436 yards and three touchdowns. He caught 10 passes for 266 yards and three touchdowns against Secaucus on Sep. 17.
No. 11 DJ Thomson DJ Thomson 6'4" | 170 lbs | WR Keyport | 2022 NJ | 6-4 | 170 | Keyport
Thomson has caught 17 passes for 412 yars and seven touchdowns. He’s had a tough go of it in his last three games but his team has gone 2-1.
No. 10 Ben Hauser Ben Hauser 6'2" | 185 lbs | WR Livingston | 2022 NJ | 6-2 | 185 | Livingston
Hauser has caught 36 passes for 456 yards and three touchdowns in five game this season. He’s been able to put up solid numbers despite his team’s 1-4 record.
No. 9 Michael Marinelli Michael Marinelli 5'10" | 185 lbs | WR Cedar Grove | 2022 NJ | 5-10 | 185 | Cedar Grove
Marinelli has caught 33 passes for 502 yards and two touchdowns. He caught seven passes for 104 yards in a 44-20 win over North Warren on Oct. 1.
No. 8 Calvin Woodall Calvin Woodall WR Passaic Valley | 2022 NJ | Passaic Valley
Woodall has caught 16 passes for 431 yards and four touchdowns. Woodall is very shifty and gets to top speed quickly when he gets to running in a straight line. There’s a few plays where he takes a short pass and turns it into a long gain/touchdown. That enables college coaches to see his long speed. If he stays on the offensive side of the ball. Woodall will make a nice slot receiver at the next level.
No. 7 Jordan Vega Jordan Vega 5'9" | 170 lbs | WR Wallington | 2022 NJ | 5-9 | 170 | Wallington
Vega has caught 18 passes for 402 yards and five touchdowns in five games.
No. 5 Dylan Hutchinson Dylan Hutchinson 6'2" | 185 lbs | WR Pascack Valley | 2022 NJ | 6-1 | 185 | Pasack Valley
Hutchison has caught 52 passes for 422 yards and four touchdowns.
No. 4 Ricky Rainey Ricky Rainey WR Lyndhurst | 2022 NJ | Lyndhurst
Rainey has caught 22 passes for 462 yards and four touchdowns and has ran 16 times for 168 yards and three touchdowns in four games.
No. 3 Marquis Perry Marquis Perry 6'0" | 170 lbs | WR North Brunswick | 2022 NJ | 6-0 | 170 | North Brunswick
Perry has caught 27 passes for 557 yards and eight touchdowns and has carried the football 28 times for 219 yards and three touchdowns. He opened up a lot of eyes with a five-touchdown performance against Old Bridge a few weeks ago. Perry can take a short pass and go the distance with it and has a nice stride. It’s worth noting that he is good enough to play safety at the next level.
No. 1 JoJo Bermudez JoJo Bermudez 5'10" | WR Cedar Creek | 2022 State NJ | 5-10 | Cedar Creek
Bermudez has caught 34 passes for 754 yards and six touchdowns in six games. He has been heads and shoulders above every other wide receiver in New Jersey this season. Bermudez is easily the most explosive player at his position and the results on the field prove that belief to be true. He’s averaging close to six catches, 125.7 yards, and one touchdown per game.
