<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Highlighting the WR stock risers in Prep Redzone's latest 2023 rankings, including two Pac-12 signees in [player_tooltip player_id='384708' first='Carlos' last='Hernandez'] (WSU) and [player_tooltip player_id='384736' first='Jordan' last='Onovughe'] (Colorado). </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["384708"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f487b3e0d00"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hernandez led Monrovia in receiving for the third straight year with 860 yards and 10 TDs. He's a skilled inside receiver that can navigate through tight spaces and possesses twitchy change-of-direction. He can work up the seam and beat coverage over-the-top or locate the soft spots over the middle. He's dynamic in the screen game and can utilize a variety of releases at the LOS. Hernandez, a long-term WSU commit, signed with the Cougars in December.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/WSUCougarFB/status/1605586425143230465?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/WSUCougarFB/status/1605586425143230465?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["384736"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f487b3e0d56"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Onovughe paced Mater Dei in catches with 46 for 500 yards and 4 TDs. He's a natural athlete on the perimeter with high-level body control and burst. He's a reliable deep target that maximizes length and catch radius to win 50-50 balls. Onovughe was one of a few 2023 commitment carry-overs from Colorado's former staff to Coach Prime's current roster. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/J_onovughe/status/1605603422538911761?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/J_onovughe/status/1605603422538911761?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["261773"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f487b3e0d9e"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mission Viejo was led by a trio of D-I WRs in Reed, Utah-signee [player_tooltip player_id='25408' first='Mikey' last='Matthews'], and Arizona-signee [player_tooltip player_id='190360' first='Jackson' last='Holman']. Reed provides game-breaking speed on the perimeter as an outside receiver. He can find space at the third level and outpace DBs down the field. Reed picked up a late offer from Fordham on Dec. 20th and signed his NLI the next day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/FORDHAMFOOTBALL/status/1620912649814032400?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/FORDHAMFOOTBALL/status/1620912649814032400?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["190436"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f487b3e0ddf"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor was the second-leading target for QB [player_tooltip player_id='25431' first='Jaden' last='Rashada'] behind Washington-signee [player_tooltip player_id='25460' first='Rashid' last='Williams']. He's a clean route-runner on the outside that presses soft-coverage and sells his routes to separate. He's a strong pass-catcher that can make difficult catches in tight coverage. He's also a physical CB on defense that presents an intriguing blend of size, range, and agility. Taylor backed off his commitment to Nevada before signing with Boise St. in December. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KhaiTaylor7/status/1590072356076408834?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KhaiTaylor7/status/1590072356076408834?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["384766"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f487b3e0e20"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wayne's a nimble athlete with playmaking ability at WR. He's crafty finding/working to space against coverage and shows built-up speed at the top of his routes. He totaled 580 yards and 7 TDs on 33 catches as a senior. Wayne signed with the program to offer him his first D-I scholarship- Air Force.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GrantWayne5/status/1605771668281954304?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GrantWayne5/status/1605771668281954304?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
