Kenyon Sadiq Kenyon Sadiq 6'3" | 220 lbs | WR Skyline HS | 2023 State ID – Skyline HS
When it comes to playing football, it seems like there isn’t anything Sadiq can’t do on the football field. As a wide receiver he has excellent straight-line speed that allows him to stretch the field vertically and has good hip flexibility to get in and out of breaks. A bigger body wide receiver who can run with the toughness to break tackles and get yards after the catch. Sadiq can also climb the ladder and win 50/50 balls with his big frame and wide catch radius. Has natural pass catching hands along with the ability to take screens and quick hitters the distance. The #1 player in the state of Idaho has multiple Power 5 offers and should be in the running for the state player of the year regardless of division.
Ian Duarte Ian Duarte 5'8" | 170 lbs | WR Eagle HS | 2023 State ID – Eagle HS
What he lacks in what some would consider ideal measurables only being 5’8’’ he makes up for with game changing ability. Duarte can flat out fly when it comes to straight-line speed, and his lightning quick agility allows him to make multiple defenders miss in space. An excellent route running that uses his speed and quickness to create separation from defenders. A big-time threat in the passing game can stretch the field vertically along with take a simple screen or speed out the distance every play. Has solid hands and tracks the ball well down the field. Has multiple power 5 offers and should have a huge senior year.
Gatlin Bair Gatlin Bair 6'2" | 195 lbs | WR Burley | 2024 State ID – Kimberly HS
Bair is a unique athlete who meshes a big body at 6’2” with elite speed running in the tops in the state in the 100m dash. Burst on to the scene as a sophomore at Kimberly High School, Bair can stretch the field but does most of his damage in contested 50/50 balls that he just rips out of the air. Has great body control for such a young football player but also tracks the ball effortlessly in the air and has strong hands. His route running will become more polished as he continues to grow but look for this elite junior to make a big impact this year. Already holds a division 1 offer as an incoming junior.
Javonte King Javonte King 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR Blackfoot HS | 2023 State ID – Blackfoot HS
King has an unbelievable catch radius it seems that if you throw the football anywhere near him, he can go get it. Makes highlight reel plays constantly by high pointing the football with defenders all over him. One of the better route runners in the state King can get in and out of his breaks fluidly along with working different stems to confuse defenders in the route. Has some of the best hands in the state with the ability to really climb the ladder and go get footballs. At 6’3” 200lbs he has ideal size for college who like big wide receivers who are not afraid of a little contact.
