Williams was a touchdown machine for Etiwanda this season. He had 844 yards receiving with 10 touchdowns and also had 7 touchdowns on the ground. His biggest strength as a receiver is his ability to make plays after the catch. Etiwanda constantly throws to him on drag routes over the middle which he turns into big plays, or bubble screens. He has long strides and can create separation on deep routes too. He has seven offers including four Pac 12 offers.

Khari Butler Khari Butler 6'2" | 210 lbs | WR Oaks Christian | 2022 State CA , Oaks Christian
Butler is one of the lengthy receivers on this list at 6-foot-3. The most impressive thing about his film is his route running ability and the way he high-points the ball. He is one of the best jump ball receivers I have seen at the high school level with his timing and athleticism. His recruiting was heating up during the pandemic but has cooled off as of late. Rice seems to be the team with the most interest in Butler.

Juan Wilson Juan Wilson 5'10" | 165 lbs | WR Warren (Downey, CA) | 2022 State CA , Warren
Wilson is one of the best slot receivers in the Southern Section and if he were a little bigger he would have more offers. He is around 5-foot-10 and like Butler, he got some good offers last summer but has cooled off a bit. He excels at finding holes in zone coverages. He runs good corner routes to beat Cover 2 and Nico Iamaleava Nico Iamaleava 6'5" | 200 lbs | QB Warren | 2023 State CA had a good enough arm to hit him in stride on those for touchdowns. He catches the ball well in traffic and is fast enough to where you can’t put an outside linebacker on him in man-to-man. He has seven offers with his most recent one coming from Minnesota.

Rex Haynes Rex Haynes 6'4" | 200 lbs | WR Cathedral Catholic | 2022 State CA , Cathedral Catholic
Haynes was the best receiver in San Diego County for the best team in San Diego. He is 6-foot-5, runs excellent routes and is one of those guys you can always rely on to get a 1st down on 3rd down. If you play him in man, he is going to burn you on a double move, if you give him a big cushion, he will catch a slant and make a play after the catch. He is big enough to break tackles and is a very good blocker down the field. I think he is one of the most under recruited guys in the state. He has offers from Fresno State, San Diego State and Arizona State among others.

Cooper Wallace Cooper Wallace 6'0" | 180 lbs | WR Simi Valley | 2022 State CA , Simi Valley
Wallace is one of those guys who had his stock rise dramatically during his senior season. His strength is making plays after the catch but he can also beat very good corners in man coverage. He has track level speed and is one of the smoothest receivers in the class. Wallace had 1,340 receiving yards on 67 receptions and 14 touchdowns for a Simi Valley team that was undefeated in the regular season. He earned Co-Canyon League MVP honors and got offers from San Diego and Arizona State after the season ended.
Simi Valley's Cooper Wallace is a menace. How good is this kid?! He evades 6 defenders with the last 2 running into each other 😲 More to come in an All Access video later today 📹 @simi_football @svhspioneers @Tarek_Fattal @haleymsawyer @latsondheimer pic.twitter.com/x00Mph9e1X
