Quiller was named the MVP of the Wide Receiver group at the NXGN Atlanta camp, which was full of standout kids at the skill positions. A dynamic playmaker at both Running Back and Slot Receiver, Quiller has elite quickness and burst. Repeatedly was able to wiggle free from Defensive Backs who had little chance of clamping him down.
The Buford Wolves seem to reload year after year with impressive kids and Kevin Hughes Jr. is one that’s up next. Standing just under 6-foot and weighing 165-pounds, he has good size and muscle mass on his frame. Played a physical style of Wide Receiver and not only did he win pretty much every one-on-one, he also won the hand fighting battles on the way to making the catch. Again proving he’s one of the best Wide Receivers in the 2027 class.
Wilkerson was another smaller, yet solid Wide Receiver at the NXGN camp. Built similarly and displaying a nearly identical style of play to Mekhi Quiller Mekhi Quiller 5’7″ | 135 lbs | ATH Aquinas | 2027 GA , he gave the defense fits. Quick, versatile and full of acceleration. The Columbia Middle Schooler (Grovetown, GA) ran very well and was arguable the fastest in-route runner on the afternoon.
Highlights
Antonio Taylor Antonio Taylor 5’7″ | 160 lbs | DB Evans | 2027 GA of Augusta, Georgia earned an invitation to The Show with his performance. The Evans Middle School prospect followed the trend of smaller, quicker athletes standing out. A lot to like about him as a Cornerback and Wide Receiver.
