Top Junior (2023) Receivers in the Houston Area Pt. 2

You know we had to have a Part 2 for this position. Too many top athletes in this area to name and if any are left out please let us know! The players listed are some gifted athletes who have shown some dominance on the field. Some names are ones we have talked about before, but we have some new talent who caught our attention this past season. The players will be names to remember heading into their senior year. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><strong>Bryan Domino - Fort Bend Christian Academy</strong></em></span> Domino is a fluid, shifty receiver out of the slot who causes many issues for his matchup. He is quick in his routes and breaks out of his routes with great explosion. With any types of screens, Domino is a threat to score due to his shiftiness in the open field. Domino had 1,151 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns on 55 catches this past season. He is a name to look out for this offseason. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16281460/618c5e05578d0b03e022ce38" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><strong>Jonathan Nelson - Bridgeland</strong></em></span> Nelson was an absolute playmaker for the Bears offense this season. He played the role of running back, receiver, quarterback, and return man. Nelson showed great versatility and skill with everything he was asked to do. At the receiver position, he displayed good adjustment to the ball and body control. He showed burst and explosion off the ball and in between running lanes when he saw them, and very good open field speed. For the season, Nelson hauled in 64 catches for 820 yards and 5 touchdowns, and also ran for 455 yards and 7 touchdowns on 80 carries. He is a very talented player who will get even more opportunities to shine next season. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13450678/6193ca1590ef7d03441a746f" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><strong>Bricen Brantley - Alief Taylor</strong></em></span> Brantley is a player to watch out for heading into next season. With very good height and speed, he can be a dangerous weapon for his offense. He showed great concentration and strong hands on contested catches, and won jump balls when the opportunity presented itself. Brantley caught 33 passes for 539 yards and 7 touchdowns for his junior season, and expect him and his quarterback Jenkins to turn it up a notch for their senior year. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15192430/616f0bc50dbfcd090055dd19" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><strong>Jax Medica - Fulshear</strong></em></span> Medica is something serious at the receiver position. A deep ball threat and a safety net who can make something out of nothing. He is a physical receiver with good size who wins jump balls with ease and shows great body control. Medica is smooth on routes and runs at all three levels with no problem. He is a strong blocker who can bully defensive backs and is an overall playmaker. If you are not familiar with him now, definitely get with it. For his junior campaign Medica had 644 yards receiving and 4 touchdowns on 44 receptions. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/3195504/61954bc70c53590a7c1a404a" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><strong>Michael Lewis - Clear Brook</strong></em></span> Lewis is another shifty slot receiver who causes issues for defenses due to his acceleration and open field abilities. Lewis can usually get a step on any defender lined up in front of him and his speed can leave them in the dust. He showed to be dangerous with the ball in his hands and any time he is left open, it usually leads to 6. Lewis is without a doubt a playmaker and the film shows it. He finished the season with 58 receptions for 863 yards and 8 touchdowns. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13289723/618555f8b018960750923b4f" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><strong>David Amador - North Shore</strong></em></span> State champion Amador was a reliable target all year long for his quarterbacks and his skills were put on display. Amador is a strong receiver despite his size, and can also take a top off of a secondary. He is fast out of his breaks and on short routes can make something big happen. Amador will once again, heading into his senior year, be a top weapon and leader for the Mustangs so keep tabs on him. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13346632/61c3d6d83df51b0b887c7788" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
