2024 WR Positional Breakdown

<p>Check out the premier playmakers in the state! </p>    <p>Carver is one of the most explosive playmakers in the country and is a certified home run threat anytime he touches the ball. With track-star speed, Carver can rip defenses to shreds in space, evaporate angles in the open field, and turn routine quick game routes into 50-yard gains. With the ball in his hands, Craver shows an elite ability to maintain speed out his cuts, reaching top speed in the open field and making guys miss in close quarters. When running routes, Craver is elite at selling verticality and breaking guys off once they flip their hips. This awareness of his speed and ability to find space against man coverage makes him dangerous from any region of the field. As our No.1 ranked WR, Craver is a game changer that will be a major factor in the 2024 recruiting cycle.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Craverrr4/status/1545545044228276224?s=20&t=ZAU-OzxssNgFQ_tQNjMeWg </div></figure>    <p>Murphy is a rangy receiver that takes the top off the defense consistently. With a wiry frame, smooth strides that eat up space, and a good catch radius, he's a consistent mismatch that can be used to generate chunk plays. Murphy shows elite hand-eye coordination when making contested/ tip passes and doesn't waste many opportunities once the ball hits his hands. For a taller frame, he also flashes nice fluidity and footwork at the top of the route and can create space against man coverage. Though he's a capable route runner, Murphy provides production as a run-after-catch receiver and return ace with natural elusiveness, short distant burst, and lateral quickness.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JabariMurphy8/status/1590706957140209664?s=20&t=ZAU-OzxssNgFQ_tQNjMeWg </div></figure>    <p>Townsend used last season to propel himself as a top receiver in 2024. Townsend can dominate as an elite vertical threat with an expansive catch radius, soft hands, and a bully mentality at the point of the catch. He shows some nuance and natural instinct when attacking defenses down the field. Small things like working back to the ball, positioning himself to box out defenders, and using his hands to create late separation in the route are things Townsend specializes in and utilizes as big-play threats.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TownsendSkylar8/status/1589427165140877313?s=20&t=y9UHZGGVwIb4MnycGyO-Vw </div></figure>    <p>Coleman is a dynamic playmaker that reminds me of the football version of Ja Morant. His elite vertical explosion and tracking skills enable him to constantly beat defenders to the apex. These highlight reel catches when posterizing corners and safeties make him one of the more exciting prospects in the state. Coleman's ability to adjust to throws and make college-level catches when tight roping the sideline and endzone makes him a Quarterback's dream when working downfield or against solid coverage. Coleman is also a solid route runner who does a great job of eating up the cushion, stepping on the defender's toes before breaking off on his routes.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CamColeman12/status/1601013834575409152?s=20&t=ZAU-OzxssNgFQ_tQNjMeWg </div></figure>    <p>Thompson is an all-around receiver who can beat you in a multitude of ways. With elite size (200+ pound frame), he moves tremendously well. His runs after the catch carry a punch, but he's also fluid enough to make guys miss in the open field. This natural wiggle, in addition to his solid speed, makes him an absolute problem in space. When running routes, he smooths out his break, can show quick releases when facing the press at the line of scrimmage, and shows toughness when working in between the numbers. Thompson's greatest asset may be his hands and body control to adjust to inaccurate throws. He's made a number of highlight-reel-worthy catches throughout his career and thrives off making the difficult catch. He's also strong enough to fend off defenders when competing for 50/50 balls and can be a major threat in the red zone - making him a complete weapon that can be used at any part of the field.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/fhsperryt1/status/1540417745908600834?s=20&t=ZAU-OzxssNgFQ_tQNjMeWg </div></figure>
