I can’t wait to see the ones I haven’t witnessed firsthand, in person. Let’s take a quick view at who this class has to offer at wide receiver.
Zeke Whittington Zeke Whittington 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR Habersham Central | 2025 State GA – WR – Habersham Central / @ZekeWhittingto2
Whittington has experience playing in the slot and out wide. He displays good quickness and burst with impressive acceleration off the line. Whittington’s speed threatens teams vertically. He displays some elusiveness in the open field with a mix of spins, side steps, and other jukes.
D’ontae Fulton – WR – Worth County / @DontaeFulton
Fulton appears to have adequate arm length, which he uses to stiff arm defenders and expand his catch radius. He is a natural hands catcher who attacks the football at its apex and makes diving adjustments. Fulton plays with good body control. His upper body strength and arm activity help him shed press coverage. Looking for him to have big season this year.
Jamauri Brice Jamauri Brice 5'10" | 175 lbs | WR Cartersville | 2025 State GA – WR – Cartersville HS / @BriceJamauri
Brice displays quick footwork when facing press coverage, which often leads to him getting past the defensive back. Brice should focus on using his large frame and long arms to be more physically imposing in these situations, activating his upper body instead of just relying on his footwork.Brice displays quick cuts on short routes that generate open targets for his quarterback thanks to his foot speed.
DJ Avery DJ Avery 6'0" | 175 lbs | WR Chattahoochee | 2025 State GA – WR – Chattahoochee HS / @DJAvery6
Avery is fairly explosive, exhibits solid change of direction ability and has impressive long speed. His quick feet at the line of scrimmage are indicative of a potentially dangerous release package. What’s more, Avery employs a hesitation move to freeze defenders before exploding. Avery also occasionally forces false steps with jab steps and body fakes. At the top of his route stem, the talented pass-catcher makes sudden cuts with solid lateral burst.
Jude Nelson – WR – Social Circle / @judenelson2_
Every time I see Nelson film, his agility is the first thing that pops out. He has very good footwork within small areas that keeps defenders guessing where he wants to go. Nelson also has a great knack of anticipating defenders attacking him, as he routinely evades tacklers when he has the ball in his hands in open space. Nelson has game breaking acceleration and speed which he displays every time defenses give him soft coverage at the line and no safety help over the top.
