Noreel White Noreel White 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR St. Martin | 2024 State MS | St. Martin
The rising star on the Mississippi gulf coast will be one of the most electric names on the offensive side of the ball for his class. As a Sophomore, White caught 54 balls for 655 yards and 7 TD’s. Potential is seen across scheme as a wide out as he lines up everywhere. Well put together with good length but not considered lanky. Strength in his frame from top to bottom. White comes off the ball crisply and with technique. Advanced as a route runner and is aided by smoothness in and out of cuts. At this stage I wouldn’t consider White a burner with the ball in his hand, but speed is well above average and does not limit him. Florida State has been hot on White for some time, but expect plenty more Power 5 interest in the near future.
JJ Harrell JJ Harrell 6'1" | 175 lbs | WR North Panola | 2024 State MS | North Panola
Panola County is known state-wide for producing quality athletes at the next level and Harrell appears to be well on his way. Athletic frame for size with winning length. Good speed. Harrell runs routes and gets open with technical skills. Type of guy that is at his best after the catch due to shiftiness. His 2022 film definitely saw him get better as the year went on. Big things on the horizon here.
JQ Witherspoon JQ Witherspoon 5'7" | 160 lbs | WR Tupelo | 2024 State MS | Tupelo
The fastest straight line speed on this list belongs to Witherspoon. The 2022 season didn’t see the Tupelo speedster contribute in a major way on the field but his speed and athleticism are what lands him on this list. From a size perspective Witherspoon may be limited as a WR at the next level, but that does not factor into what he can do with the football. Witherspoon is the type guy to keep eyes fixed on moving thru the spring and into the summer.
Daniel Hill Daniel Hill 6'1" | 220 lbs | WR Meridian | 2024 State MS | Meridian
All eyes will be on Meridian in 2022 as Hill recovers from a broken leg that cut his 2021 campaign short. Best suited for the time being as an ATH, Hill is the prototypical do it all guy offensively. Thickly and strongly built with a linebacker mentality on the offensive side of the ball at times, Hill plays with power. Dependable wherever he is placed. Good speed which meshes well with the power he shows with the ball in his hands. Hill plays with balance and good vision. As he heals from injury, the potential to be a top 10 player in the state is not out of the question. Hill currently holds offers from Mississippi State, Ole Miss, LSU and Tennessee among others.
